Last time I needed a therapist I was at school went to the one there then they connected me with my therapist on the outside. It doesn't help that I'm as anxious as what I have been, but I don't know what to do. I'm over all this. Grrrrrr... Is there an easier way to deal with this crap?

When I started looking for a t I considered that I might have a dissociative disorder but I wasn't sure. I was also very anxious about talking about what was in my head. So I began by just talking about my present day job and family issues. As time went on I became comfortable with my t and started talking about things in my head. It wasn't a big step. It happened gradually. Everyone is different but this approach worked for us. I have to say that I doubt I would have been able to get to know my system without the help of my t. I think a t is very important.
