Hello everyone,

After looking through this sub-forum, I've found that the topic of Therapists can be quite polarizing. So, given that today was my first Therapy appointment, I figured that I should take to opportunity to share my experience. One of the most overwhelming feelings that I had during the appointment was the realization that I was I had really fallen to the point where I needed this appointment. Sort of a "this is really happening" moment. Not like I was in denial about what was wrong with me or anything, but rather that as I was answering her questions about my family life and my emotions, it felt surreal to actually be admitting my thoughts and behaviors out loud. Admitting that these things actually happened to me, admitting that how I see myself isn't normal. It felt good to let someone that can help know. To share something about yourself that you wouldn't share with anyone else, and know that they will help you. It's good. Feel free to leave your experiences with Therapy below as well. Stay safe everyone .
