On Tuesday I am going to start working with a new T. Here is the problem: where do I begin? I mean I have been through sooooo much in my 39 years that I wouldn't know where to start.
From anyone's experience do you let T talk and ask questions first or do you just jump right in and start with a first memory or something else all together?

Often you start with the reason why you're looking to start therapy.

Well that's the thing... I just cut ties with a T i had been with for 5.5 years because for the last 4 months or so I haven't felt that connection anymore and we weren't working on anything at all. We would just talk about boring mundane stuff. Day to day stuff. I wasn't being challenged or asked deep questions that make me think. it was.....boring.

Usually for me, I interview him or her, and then let them ask questions as well.

Honestly I think that you are the only person who knows the answer to that. But good luck with you new Therapist, I know that is does take a little time getting used to. My current Therapist I have only been seeing for 3 months and I am just now starting to feel comfortable going to the sessions.

I think you should just go in and see what comes out. It may surprise you.

A good T will guide you and get the session going.
You will probably need to explain why you want to start therapy and decide with your T what you think your goals could be. Good luck |
