It's next Tuesday evening.

And I just realized, this isn't the first time I have ever talked to a therapist in adulthood. I was seeing one at school a couple of years ago when I started skipping classes to do absolutely nothing productive. It wasn't terrible, but I don't think we ever really solved what was going wrong in my life, and I stopped going since my mood had significantly changed between the summer and the new fall semester. Since I have a bit of a better understanding of my feelings now, maybe things will go differently.

I've seen therapists like those before too. Not harmful, but not helping either. That's why I stay away from university therapists (was yours through the university?).
But do please come back and tell us how your therapy session went. Try to remember that you don't need to talk about anything you aren't ready for.
She will probably ask you directly something like "Is there anything specifically you want to focus on?" and other direct questions. At first it might throw you for a loop, but just go with it without going to deep. If you don't know exactly, that's okay too, just say "I'm not sure exactly." You'll know if it's a bad therapist or a bad match just by observing how she relates to you.

No worries, okay? It's not near as bad as you think it will be. I know it's tough though because I went through a similar experience what with the bad child therapist (and later bad university therapist). I have an EXCELLENT therapist. You have to put yourself out there to get results, but your doing it, which is great.

Good luck and come back to tell us!
