Nervous About Starting

[Zurrealx98]

I start therapy next Monday (it's free at my university). I'm just concerned about what to say because I don't really know what I'm looking for. They do offer group sessions which I feel would be beneficial, but I'm stressed about admitting these things to a group of people I don't know because for the most part everything is still a secret (from my family and most of my friends). Could anybody share their experiences about how they got through starting therapy. (Sorry if this post is incoherent, I'm a bit anxious just thinking about it)

I had no expectations, because I really wasn't planning on ever doing therapy again. That might have made it easier.

If the therapist is good, they'll know how to lead a first visit.

Try to relax and let them do the work. I'd be shocked if you go straight to the hard things right away. You go at your pace.
