Hi friend,

There is really no need to be nervous about therapy. Although, I am well aware that my just saying that isn't going to do much.

Over the years I've had 9 outpatient therapists and 3 inpatient therapists. Each time, the first few sessions were always a little difficult because they don't know you and you don't know them yet.
The most important part about therapy is the relationship you form. Understanding that it takes time to form that relationship might help with the anxiety you have about the first session.

My first ever therapy session, I was 14, and was forced to go by my parents. I remember siting there saying absolutely nothing the entire time wearing yellow "Crime Scene Do Not Cross" tape as a headband (that I got from a school event that day).

It's ok if you accidentally contradict yourself or lie or exaggerate. It happens. Therapists are used to it.
And as far as needing it, frankly, I think every single person on this planet could benefit from the right type of therapy. We all have issues big and small, and having someone there to help you sort through them is extremely helpful at times, especially when you feel like a burden to the people you love.

Honestly, it may very well be uncomfortable. But don't be discouraged, my friend. Keep going with the hopes that you will form that relationship and you will learn something from the experience.

Even the therapist relationships that ended horribly for me, I still learned something valuable from the experience.

Good luck, my friend. And let us know how it goes in the psychotherapy forum!
