What I found helpful is when they they have listened, showed compassion and allowed me to go at my pace. Of it is the first time it is okay to ask questions to clarify what I am talking about bimut not push for more details.

Also what has not been helpful was when I was dealing with simethi g very recent and painful and rather than listening and just being there to offer support, she used CBT. Near the end of the appointment she realized I had shot down. She realized she handled it totally wrong and apologized by I could t discuss it then. The next day we discussed it..
