I think therapy at first is hard and lots of tears are shed. I think the first 4 sessions I had I spent in tears choking out all the stuff that was tearing me apart .

My Therapist is amazing .. He told me later he " knew" I needed to just unload all my crap ... Then he asked me where I thought WE needed to start ... and I sat there literally dumbfounded , I had no idea ... I said maybe you should start where ever you think we should .. Where he started was exactly where we needed to start.

I have been seeing my therapist for over a year now( weekly) and when I first met him I decided to be completly honest about everything as I felt this was pretty much my last chance to get help. I was very unstable to say the least.

Therapist do tend to ask alot of questions as thats how they can find out just whats going on and how the best approach is to helping you..

Therapy is never easy its really hard work , but I think after you have worked thru some issues you will get a feeling of accomplishment.

Good luck ~ PM me anytime
