The nice thing about the first session is that, in my experience, the T was more in the driver's seat and the discussion doesn't usually get terribly intense right away. It is so much about getting introduced to each other, getting fairly general background and information. It is more in subsequent sessions that you start delving into things in much more depth generally.

Therapy is scary because we feel very vulnerable. We share things that we probably have never shared with anyone before. It's normal to have some nerves about it.

Good luck this evening. Let us know how it goes.
