Dane gave you some great advice. Sometimes finding the "right" therapist is a bit of a trial and error process. Just try to go in with an open mind, don't be afraid to be honest, that's their job...they're used to hearing all kinds of stuff. It's a little weird at first to tell a complete stranger very personal things, but, like dane said, it is so cathartic. I always leave therapy with a load lifted.
Be positive...like I told you before, you're being proactive about your situation and finally doing something about it. That alone is a HUGE step! Be proud of yourself, even just for making the first move!!
Do you have an appt scheduled yet? Be sure to let us know when you do, I'm, anxious to follow your progress through this. You can do it! You will do it!
Hugs!
Thank you both for your help. I'm still a little nervous talking to a complete stranger. I will try to stay positive. I am not aware of my appointment yet but I know it is coming. It keeps getting pushed back because of other appointments. I want to get better though.
I understand the nervousness of speaking to a stranger, but remember they are a trained professional and believe me they have heard it all, so what might sound outlandish to us, is so common for the therapist as that 's what they do all day. Stay positive and try not to get yourself all worked up over it, it will go great and you will feel so much better. I am so happy that you want to get better and i know you will, just keep up that positive attitude:)
