Going to the first few sessions was not a pleasant experience for me. But then again others have posted on PC that they connected quickly to their new therapist. For me, I felt like I was getting a 3rd degree interrogation. The one thing I would do differently if I had to do it again would be to not put so much pressure on myself to provide the perfect answer to all questions asked. I'd recommend taking a deep breath, answering the questions you feel comfortable answering, and simply leave the others for another day. Even today after a year of therapy I have to remind myself that my perspectives, reactions, attitudes, moods, and answers to things CHANGE frequently. This is supposed to happen in therapy--I think.
