Going to Therapy for the first time

Hi guys! I signed up for therapy for the very first time and I am very exited! I have my first appointment next week :)

I wanted to know if anyone has any advise or maybe any therapy experiences they want to share :)

I don’t really know what to expect from it, but I am sure it is going to be an amazing experience. And hopefully it helps me deal my anxiety a little better.

Therapy has been very beneficial to me in dealing with my troubles. They helped me to realize certain things as causing trouble without my knowing it. They will help in identifying these things and can offer new ways to deal with your issues. Best of luck to you, and congratulations on taking this first step!

Nice ValeNino. Happy for you.

I talk to my therapist about what’s going on in my mind that troubles me and she validates my feelings and we decide together what types of things I can do to feel better and move forward. She does not judge.

I wish you the very best!!!

Two things come to mind- be honest to the best of your ability, the better a therapist understands you the better they can help you.

It's okay if this therapist isn't a good fix, it doesn't have to be anyone's fault and you can always find another (good luck all the same).
