My psychiatrist and I arranged for me to go to psychotherapy. However, I am pensive, due to past bad experiences.

I reckon the person will:

- Judge my interests, beliefs, hobbies and goals and thus I won't be completely honest with the person.

- Mock my personality, or say that I don't "deserve" things due to my personality.

My psychiatrist seems like a decent guy, he is non-judgmental and always offer support/advice in issues I face. But in the past, therapists have questioned why I don't believe in God (this is due to most in my uni long ago and generation not doing so), or like regular sex (well I'm human and don't deem sex as "dirty", again this is a common attitude).

I guess I am literally fearful the person will say or do something to put me off/offend me. I don't want reassurance, but then do psychotherapists usually judge persons for their thoughts and attitudes, even those that are not pathologies or causing harm to others or oneself? I think incidentally one reason I am not fully healthy is that I let others subjective beliefs/thoughts affect me. I think I need to be my own perso more, and if others don't like it, that's their business.
