Hi Squirrel,
I went through something similar a few weeks ago when I went to a new nutritionist. In the past, my experiences with nutritionists were more harmful than helpful, so I was very anxious about seeing this one! I did as you did, emailed her and told her I was nervous. She emailed back and said pretty much the same thing! Not to worry, she makes it as pain-free as possible!

Anyway, like you, I was still very nervous. I spoke with my T about the visit, and she reassured me that as a nutritionist, she's heard just about everything and is trained to deal with just about everything, so my issues were not going to unhinge her or freak her out, it's her job. I am pretty positive the new T you are going to see will be the same way - it is her job to listen and help - you are not crazy, you are actually starting on a journey that only the strong take - the weak can not handle therapy, it's too much work.

I would expect a lot of questions, she'll probably be taking notes too. Remember, this first appointment is a getting to know you appointment, and it might take 3-4 sessions before you decide if you click with her. That's ok! Also, it's as much your interview of her, too, so you can ask her questions as well.

Good luck Squirrel! You are really strong person for stepping into this journey!
