First consultation with a psychotherapist (my experience)

[isthereasweeterplace]

Hello everyone! I want to share my experience of the first consultation with a therapist.

I was very nervous. But everything went well. It was difficult for me to start telling, but the therapist helped me open up. When I started talking, everything went like clockwork. Then we raised one important topic for me that no one has discussed with me like that. I even cried. We also did one exercise. And I got homework.

My psychotherapist is a very nice person. She gave me hope that my problems can be solved.

During the consultation process, I experienced only one problem - it was difficult for me to describe the emotions that I felt. Something like alexithymia, you know?

In general, everything went well. We agreed on the next consultation. And I really hope that therapy will help me.

That’s all.

Thank you all for support! I hope you’re doing well ❤️

Thank you for sharing this. I've been really considering starting therapy as well but keep backing out because of fear or finances. However, I keep thinking it might be worth it. I hope it all continues to go well for you and that you get the answers and peace you need.

I understand you!

For a long time I could not start therapy for the same reasons. Just at one moment I realized that my problems affect all areas of my life and that this needs to be changed.

After the first consultation with a therapist, I had one thought - "I had to do this a long time ago." After all, health is the most important thing, both mental and physical.

Thank you for your reply and good luck! I hope you will be fine! ❤️

Good for you, I am pleased for you it went so well. I swear by therapy, and suspect that just about every last human being would benefit by it. I know it helped me to get rid of fears, build my self esteem, changed my world only for the better. I finally became a 100 % functioning human being, have lived over 20 years now with no fear, worry or self doubts. Keep going, I hope we hear more positive mails from you. I send you strength, peace and love.....Sprinkle 1.....

That Great you’re counseling went well. Sounds like you got a good one that got you to open up. What is Alex

Yes, you are very right. Therapy/CBT/Counselling is the best way to treat mental health issues. I also took my Psychotherapy session when I suffered through anxiety a few months back from here ezcareclinic.com/mental-hea.... And worked wonderfully for me. I got amazing results from therapy rather than medicines.
