It went okay. There's a lot of things that I need to offload that have happened in the past few years, I'm doing it in chronological order, sessions are 50 minutes long and I didn't get to tell her everything. She did say at the start though that she'd be taking a 'person centred approach' rather than interpreting. I'm not sure what that means but I said I think her insight/opinions would help, for perspective. Sometimes I can't make sense of my own thoughts and feelings.
But anyway mostly it was just me talking... I think it's going to be a slow process, especially with the time limit thing.

Therapy works wonders. I've actually gotten to a point to where I run out of things to talk about. I've been under close surveillance since getting out of the hospital in September to make sure I don't relapse and it has really helped me sort through wellness for this is the first time in years I've felt normal.

I know you will benefit and get heal old wounds. Good luck.

It's only the first session. No need to get everything out. My sessions are 55 min and they feel plenty long--just short enough to force me to make the most of it and long enough that it's worthwhile. I hope you come to find that 50 min is just about right.

I'm glad things went well for you, the first appointment can be so scary.

Thanks :-) I guess we'll see how it goes.
