Hi Biiv, personally, I think calming yourself down is a good idea. When I see my T. I make a list of what I want to talk about--then when I am in there I go with whatever feels right--I just pick something off the list that feels right. If you are having problems with smoking, I encourage you to talk with your T about it--thats why they are there--to help you overcome these issues. I know my T. would never fire me or berate me--she would try to help me quit. Good luck, I hope everything goes well.
