I took your advice, princesscookie19 and told the psychologist everything she asked me. It feels sooo good to tell someone. It was nerve wracking. Do 1st sessions normally take longer? It was supposed to be a 50 minute session but she took it to nearly 2 hours with one question after the next! After the session she wanted to send me to a certain psychiatrist right away for the real possibility of being put on prescription meds but she explained it all and ask me how I felt about that. She said she tries her best to stay away from meds unless they can help but that under certain circumstances the right prescription meds with psychotherapy work well together. That was a shock. Didn't think for a second I'd be put on meds
It's strange how painfully fearful the session was, but yet I can't wait to see her next week!
