Best wishes to you bazzinga, I'm going for an "intake" today, so I'm not trying to make this about me, just feel the same, wondering when I get my t (well it will be a registered nurse, i can't afford a real therapist), where to start, will she be understanding and helpful. I usually just go with the ? attitude, that this is for me, and to let it all out, just what's on my mind at the time, and it hasn't worked for me. This time, I think I'll let the nurse decide what to ask me about. Its never really helped so far, but I need the help, so when we realize that it is for ourselves, and not really anything to do with what kind of person your therapist will be, (they are supposed to be trained for everything and helpful, and keep things confidential) maybe that will help you? hugs
