Hi Geen,

There is nothing to be ashamed about in telling your therapist your symptoms. If we aren't honest with our therapists, we are waisting our time and money. It is important to get a proper evaluation of all your symptoms and correct diagnosis/s so that you get the right treatment for them. There are different therapies for different conditions and if you aren't honest about ALL your symptoms and serious about getting better, you are waisting your time and money.

The other thing you can do it start reading everything you can get your hands on. Educate yourself, learn about the different diagnosis and the treatments for them. You won't know if you are getting the right treatment from the right kind of therapist/therapy if you don't know what it is in the first place. Some people spend years and tons of money working with the wrong therapist doing the wrong therapy.

First and foremost, it is critical you trust your therapist and are totally honest with them. If you don't or don't click with them, you need to move on until you find the right therapist for you. Everyone has different personalities and ideas about therapy.

Good Luck
