Hello!
First post here :] !
As the title implies, I'm unsure what I might be walking into. Is there any way I can prepare to have a productive first session, or should I just wait and see?
Cheers,
Socks
Yeah, that makes sense :0. I don't have to feel like I need to walk on eggshells and say everything correctly the first time. It is okay if I become flustered. It's flustering stuff lol.Finally, It can take some time and practice to try and untangle what you are feeling and describe it to someone else but therapists understand that.
Maybe I was giving myself a bit of a hard time on my comment above regarding that specific topic. I do have a good reason to be uncomfortable talking about these topics with a stranger, but that also doesn't mean that I have to buckle-down/buckle-in for a psychosocial meat grinder like I might have been framing it in my mind before. I can take steps to increase my comfort; if I understand your sentiment correctly?To the last thing you mentioned, a huge part of therapy does involve talking about emotions so feel free to use this space to tell us a little more about your relationship with engaging with that side.
I do appreciate you inviting me to explore that idea more here, which I might in a different form.... so feel free to use this space to tell us a little more about your relationship with engaging with that side.
