How long until you knew your therapist was going to work out for you?

I just had my first session and it was...weird. I thought it would be intake mostly, which she started but she stopped and decided to have me put on some sort of headband device that plays rain sounds while you try to relax and focus on your breath.

So, she didn’t finish intake...I was thinking she doesn’t know who I am...is she staring at me??

I took the device off and said I feel weird. I stuck out the session because I want to get to the EMDR. I asked if that would be the next session? It depends on how intake goes.

I asked why she didn’t complete intake at this appointment? She said she wanted to give me some tools I could use. (She had gone over different types of deep breathing....I guess I understand, but I didn’t ask for that/wasn’t expecting that).

I don’t know...I left feeling like she doesn’t care who I am.

I guess I need to give it time.
