New therapy

[hypervigilant]

Today I get my first therapy session for shallow counselling to boost my self esteem and help with the little stuff because I cannot get proper counselling with the big stuff.
Half of me feels like I am being palmed off because the waiting lists are so long.
I'm usually upbeat and excited when it comes to therapy hoping this is going to help, give me answers, coping mechanisms etc but today I've felt quite tearful and unsure.
How are you with first times?

Did you make it? How did it go

It was over the phone. Okay I think. It's the same old explaining it all and going through the history which normally doesn't get me but I was a bit choked up on some of the early childhood stuff.
It's so emotionally draining I'm quite exhausted, I'm trying to be as open and unmasked as possible but it's hard.

First session always hard, glad you made it through and hope you can get something good from it whilst you're waiting for the more specialist stuff

Thankyou me too. There's homework some modules to work through which is new and I really liked the therapists approach so it will be interesting.
