I'm sure I'm overthinking it. I'll hope for the best. |
Yesterday I had my first therapy session since November. I was very concerned about going back. Wasn't sure she could help me. Wasn't sure that she could handle trauma related therapy. I had questioned whether or not it was worth it. It went really good and she validated my thoughts, listened to me, confirmed my self-diagnosis of CPTSD, and really helped me come up with a plan forward.
I hope you find the same with your therapist. If you have an ongoing trusting relationship with him/her, I think it will be fine. Opening up is hard, at least that's what I've found. Once I did though, I felt better.
