At my first appointment, it was really just to sort of meet each other and see if it felt like a good fit worth trying.

It was the only appointment where he took notes. He just asked me about my family now, family of origin, things like that. Nothing DEEP, just information. He asked me why I was coming to therapy, and what my goals were. He told me a little bit about how he does therapy, how payment works, etc. At the end of the appointment, he asked me if I felt like we could work together. That was pretty much it!

I was really scared to go, but it was VERY low key, more of a history taking than anything. I mentioned a little bit about the childhood stuff that brought me there, but just touched on it. It wasn't scary or overwhelming.

Good luck to you....I hope you will come back and tell us how it goes!
