I think for many of us, or at least speaking for myself, I am ALWAYS scared before I see my T. I saw my former T for 7 years and I was still scared before every single session. I can tell my current T anything but I am still scared before I go. If she sees I'm too anxious, she does deep breathing with me when I get there. I just think being scared goes with the territory of being in therapy. It IS the unknown. That's why we need to establish trust with our T and feel safe, but we can still feel scared. It's OKAY to feel scared and safe at the same time.
Thanks for this!
