Hi Welp 36 ,

All that Skeezyks suggested was great , so follow that.

I will also add that after being so depressed last June following that 12th & 2nd years passing of my parents , I just did not care , I was never suicidal , I just lost interest in anything. So I sought out help after watching a few Kati Morton videos , and after a free consultation I was refereed to someone I could afford , and I have been in therapy since the 2nd week of Aug.

So here is the honest truth:

Your therapist is there to help you , but you must want that help.
There are times when you will feel you must say something in order to feel better , and after end up feeling either better or worse , it is ok , that is how therapy works.

The most important thing to remember is tell your therapist everything , every gory detail , the more your therapist knows the more effective your therapy will be. Holding something back is not a good idea , I have tried out of fear , but have found that once I found the courage to say what I needed to say , I was ok , even better that ok.

There will be times when you tell your T something and it will get you thinking , sometimes thinking is scary and sometimes it hurts. But at your next app. tell you T what you felt the day after you got something off your mind. Your T is there to sort out the mess , not make things worst.

At times you will laugh while other times you might be sad , but in the end you will be whole and go on to do great things with your new life.

I guess that really sums it up , your new life.

Whatever is bothering you now , once you work through it , you will find yourself breathing a whole lot easier , I promise.

It`s work , real work , you will be asked to keep a journal , your T will never ask to see it , it is for you , if you want to show it , it fine. I have kept a journal since the end of June , before I started therapy , my therapist has never asked to view it.

But my therapist had seen a ton of my writings , I think my T has far more home work from me than other clients , but that is fine , sometimes your words can speak for you .

If there is something you find hard to say , just write it down and hand it to your T , a few week ago my T got a 3 page part of my life I could not say aloud , it a work in progress.

Anyway , I hope I have helped

Take care ,
