I was very anxious when I started therapy and I often referred to myself as stupid in sessions. T and I have worked a long time on not referring to myself as stupid.
I avoided therapy for a decade or more - partially because I thought I had noting to complain about and surely there were other people who had bigger problems than me. But now I see the best thing about therapy is that those other people don't exist when I am in t's office. For those 50 minutes my problems are the most important thing. It's okay to work on me. It took me a long time to accept that concept.
I hope you have a good meeting with the psychologist.
