Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with me. I went this morning and everything seemed to go pretty well. We talked about some of my history and my family and got briefly into some of the yucky stuff, but not into too much detail. She seemed to understand where I am coming from so that was good. She wants to see me once a week for a while so I made another appointment for next Tuesday morning.

She said some of these things might not be fun to talk about and might be uncomfortable or awkward to discuss but that she thinks if I stick with it in the end the healing that hopefully will come about will be beneficial to me. I tend to agree, anyway thanks for all the support and hopefully I can get all of this stuff behind me! Thanks again!
