If you are a minor in many states the therapist has to tell your parents certain things. Why don't you ask her what she needs to tell your parents? If you liked her before and she was nice I really doubt that she would laugh at you or get mad, don't you think? Same thing about her being able to help and her caring about you. If you liked her before and she was nice she probably is caring and helpful. Can you go this time and get beyond the shallow talk? You can still get help from her without telling her certain details (if she needs to tell your parents and they won't handle it well). You can just tell her that you really need help with dealing with your feelings or whatever?? Talking with her about how your parents are would be helpful.

How did this new appt. come about anyway?
