It's my first time going to therapy and I had 2 sessions now. I have GAD and when I first came to my therapist, it was quite severe. However, over the weeks, I became better. During my 2nd session, I feel that I can cope with my initial anxiety and that I may not want to discuss about it until I can say that the technique I'm doing is not working / I'm becoming worse.
However, I have other issues also which I didn't bring up during my first session because they weren't major concerns at that time. Since my first issue is somehow fading, am I allowed to bring up other issues? These issues aren't 'life-threatening' unlike my GAD but since I'm in the presence of a therapist, might as well bring them up.
Is it okay to bring up everyday concerns to you your therapist? Not necessarily those related to an actual mental disorder but perhaps negative thinking patterns and other things causing you stress.
