the first day i had my T appt I did not eat because I was so terrified of it. Somehow I did it and it turned out fine. my fear of the old mental health system was unjustified- to my surprise. I held off therapy for 2 years because of my fear and when the crisis hit I knew i had to have help. My doc whom I like and trust recommended the new T. I still tell both of them that I am scared of it. And I tell my doc that I am scared of T. T is really nice and gentle because I shared my fears with the doc and T. They work in the same office and they can read the notes that each other makes so I do not have to repeat much. Last time doc and T were separate and could not read each others documentation and that made it hard. Good luck to you and peace be with you.
