I have only ever had 1 T so I don't know if he is representative and if my sessions with him are likely to be able to predict how yours might be.

For me therapy is full of contrasts, in some ways it is the most scariest thing I have ever done, but in other ways the most exciting. I see it as a tremendous opportunity to get to know myself deeply, other times I wonder what the hell I am doing there (not sure if this is helping you Buttercup ).

We first met for about 30 minutes just to get a feel for each other and then we agreed an initial 6 sessions (I thought I would be cured after that) but 2 years down the line I think I am only just slowly starting to grasp what the whole T thing is about.

In terms of what to expect - it is simply a very safe, nonjudgemental, confidential place where you can learn about "you" with the help of someone who you can trust with anything. I too am a very private person, although for me I realise that means I have real difficulties in trusting people - therapy is helping me with that.

In my opinion it is not easy, but a very valuable investment in yourself.

I think peoples experiences do vary though, there are a lot of posts in this forum that may give you some further insights.

I would say go for it Buttercup - get on that waiting list, have your first appointment and then decide whether you think it may be something that can help you.
