It can be difficult to find a therapist (T) that you click with so don't be discouraged if this one doesn't work. You need to be able to trust them and open up to them about difficult topics. Also there are different styles of counselling so you need to find one that fits you.

I think Ts help us to see why we react the way we do and how to cope with situations in a more positive way.

I always feel vulnerable and exposed after a visit to a T so be prepared to feel a bit worse off while you are working through difficult issues. It is worth it when you can change the way you react to situations for the better.

Good luck and keep posting.
