Hi!
So, I finally picked a Therapist, got the fee/insurance thing out of the way and I've got my first Session on Monday. Thing is, I'm a bit scared ("out of practice" if that makes any...you know, sense) well...not a BIT more like...I've been making lists of everything that might be covered on a first-session but it still feels...wonky, like...I've been through this before but, it's still something relatively new anyway, I was wondering what tips you guys might have, not for the content (?) of the session but, preparing to meet the doctor? All the best, Cherry I. |

I'm happy that you found your own T  My best advice is to be honest... You don't want to say/do something, then just say that you don't want to say/do something because... This is my rule with which I really try to stick... If I lied my T (and it applies also to doctors) would never be able to help me or even worse - they would give me the wrong "medicament", so I always try to be very honest (which of course doesn't equal talking about everything)... Good luck

The reply just before mine is spot on!! You're not there for a job interview or to make a good impression. Let it all out so that know what issues to help you with. Anything you withhold will not be addressed. Don't sweat it (I know easy to say) just be you! Your there for help and they've heard it all before and then some, so do not allow yourself to feel badly or ashamed, embarrassed about anything. Illness is nothing to be ashamed of! We didn't ask for it and did nothing to cause it....you're going there for help! Get as much out of it as you can!! You know that's one place you can say anything without being judged or condescended to. Best of luck to you! Let us know how it goes

Moral support. Going with you to your session. People ask for pocket riders now and then when they have a tough session, first session etc coming up.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
