Hello PsychCentral Friends,

I'm happy to say I was very happy with my first session with my new psychologist/therapist. She not only looked as pleasant as her photo in Psychologytoday.com, but she really was. She made me feel a lot more comfortable than I expected to feel. I did give her a bit of my history, and a couple of things I need to process in the future. It was only at the end that I mentioned how I've been doing lately. She seemed to feel our first session was very productive and informative. I'll see her again next week same day/time. It's nice that she's in-network, too.

I did mention one thing that she said kind of worried her for a second, but I reassured her about it and she understood.

She did give me one specific assignment. Ugh! She wants me to exercise or walk at least 30 minutes/three days this upcoming week. I know, I know. I should. Everyone should. It's been something I've been kind of stubborn about for quite a while.
