Therapy

Tell me about your first sessions. What was it like? What did they ask? Did you cry?

This is probably the hundredth time I post about this here. I'm trying to convince myself that I deserve treatment, that I deserve feeling well. But it's tough. Everytime I get my phone to call the clinic the voices tell me that it's not worth it, it's not gonna work anyway, who the **** are you kidding

I'm calling the clinic tomorrow. I need to. I deserve to.

The first session is usually a chance to get to know each other. The t will probably explain the administrative things like scheduling and keeping appointments and stuff like that. The t may also ask you why you came and then explain his or her treatment style
Please call and make an appointment if you want one.

I can't remember my first 5 sessions clearly, but think the first one was just some general questions and T's terms and conditions to take home and read through.

However I am sure good T's know how difficult it can be to start therapy and would be reassuring and gentle.

I hope you can make that call.

What was it like?
Very long, a lot of paperwork.

What did they ask?
So many questions. Like diagnosis checklist kind of questions.

Did you cry?
Oh, hell yes.

forget it, theyre not taking in new patients

im gonna die before i find any help

I have my second session today. The first session was "why are you here?" And getting background info on my family. I did not expect to cry but I did. I've been so used to keeping things bottled up, and he asked questions that not even my husband has bothered to ask. I am excited to go to my appt. today. I hope you find someone and are able to find some peace.

Today I went to yet another clinic but they only have male therapists (I have trust issues with men).

I give up.
