The first session I went to with my first Psychiatrist... oh God I was so nervous.... at the end of the session he said that he would be willing to see me. Well shazam... I never knew he had a choice.

The second session I went to with the same pdoc I started by apologizing about what I said about my parents...lol... and he said ..This is not necessary. If you do this we will get nowhere.

Also, of note, before this first session I was reading a Reader's Digest and there was a little one liner at the bottom of a page that said.

Never lie to your shrink.

Well that has stuck with me and I thought that was interesting. Why go if you would lie. I tell it like it is.
