Nervous

[Cat26538]

I’m extremely nervous about going to see my therapist today. I’m having a massive panic attack just thinking about it.

Good Luck Cat, keep in mind that she is there to help you. You will be in a SAFE place

during your session. Breathe xx

Ho Cat, I think the build up can cause anxiety but hopefully you will be fine once you are there . I hope it helps .

Like Agora said, the therapist is on your side. You're not going to court to see a judge. You're going to see someone who can really help you - that's all. There's no need to be nervous. Just be honest there, and you'll get the most out of it.

Let us know how it went.

[Cat26538]

It kind of sucked.

[Hidden in reply to Cat26538]

Look at the bright side. You didn’t give into your panic attack.

[Cat26538 in reply to Hidden]

True

Hey Cat, how have you been? Did you make it to the therapist?

[Cat26538 in reply to Smd22]

I went to the therapist. She was extremely rude. So I made up for the stress from the day and got drunk at home

[Smd22 in reply to Cat26538]

So sorry to hear that. Please be careful with drinking to relieve your stress and anxiety. Maybe look for a new therapist.

You may need to find another therapist. Perhaps the one you saw yesterday isn't a good fit for you. But was the "rude" behavior the therapist's asking questions that seemed probing and hurtful? A therapist isn't there to be your friend, but help you find a way through the problems you have. I'll tell you that you that therapy doesn't show you the way around a problem. You have to go through it -- and it's usually painful. But you can get better. However, if you really don't think this therapist is the one you can work with, you'll need to find another. Is there a mental health agency in your community that might give you a list of other professionals you could see?

You shouldn't be that's what there for, don't be afraid to change doctors if you feel like he's not working for you? I've had to change then here and there. It will be ok, who knows he could help YOU??? Go in with a positive attitude and don't hold back.
