We have our very very first appointment with our new T today at 1:00, and we are all nervous.
But poor MandaLynn is sooooo scared she can't stop crying. She hates stangers. They scare her.
I keep trying trying to reassure her that the T will be really nice and not scary and that she will want to talk to me anyway, but it doesn't help.

I honestly hope I can hold it together and no one else comes out during therapy... we kinda don't want T to know right away,
but I have been VERY switchy ever since a thunderstorm last night.

to all of you.

I know you want to take it slowly but try to let T know asap though.

Please stay safe and keep us informed.

Manda.......

You have my support!!!! (if okay)

I know it is really scary right now and that the littles are feeling very insecure and frightened. It is okay for them to hide if they want too....but it is okay for them to come out as well.

It is understandable not wanting to let T know right away, but I think it may be a good idea just to let her know the symptoms you experience. That way, if you do switch in session, she will be able to respond more appropriately and it won't take her by surprise.

She is not going to hate you or yell at you for switching. This first session is basically a get to know you session anyway so you both can feel each other out and see if you are comfortable with one another.

If you get scared in session, just think about your friends from PC!! Think about watermelon fights and PEEple needing PEEple!!

I am here for you, and best wishes for your first session!!

All went very well!!!
Everyone stayed inside and we just talked about my depression and self harm issues.
I really really did not want to bring up my dissociation today, but as we were wrapping up the session,
Karen and Sarah kept begging me to tell her, so I simply told her "I lose time a lot and I have other people in my head."
