So tomorrow, I'm going to see a therapist for the first time ever, and I'm nervous/scared/many different emotions...
I think that a lot of my fears come from not knowing at all what to expect. I'm going to talk about a variety of issues that all relate to self-confidence and self worth. I'm a grad student, and there's no positive reinforcement at all for my work, and I pretty much always feel incompete which is bad because I place a lot of my identity in my academic/career goals.
I'm also going to talk about issues with relationships, specifically with men, but also with friends, and of course, weight and eating.
I'm afraid I won't be able to open up the the therapist and tell her what she needs to know to help me.
If anyone has any words of wisdom or encouragement, I'd appreciate it! Or if you've gone to therapy, it would be great to hear about what to expect! I'm not expecting a mircale cure, I'm in fact not really sure what I want to get out of it!
