The wait for the first therapy appointment is just excruciating, isn't it?? I like what imapatient said....you have control in this situation. You don't have to talk about ANYTHING you don't want to talk about. I will, in the middle of talking about something with T, sometimes say 'I don't want to talk about this anymore" and that's that. He respects it. Sometimes he will say "can we talk about not talking about it?" - and sometimes I say yes, sometimes I say no.

I hope you will give yourself this chance to heal. The prospect of facing all of those feelings we have been stuffing is SCARY. But your therapist will know how to help you pace yourself, and will be able to pick you up when you stumble.

Therapy is a gift to yourself. We don't have to go through life suffering, hiding our feelings, feeling empty, being scared. There is MORE for us. My wish for you is that you will give yourself a chance to go and discover how wonderful you are and how much better life can be
