Starting therapy for the first time can get very scary and nerve-racking. You are asked to talk to a stranger about the most private and vulnerable parts of yourself. There are no standard guidelines on what to expect or how the interaction will go so you are throwing yourself into the abyss. Is it worth it? It depends on what you are looking for when you make the decision.

I’ve had clients apologize for crying during the session, for saying something bad about a relative or friend or for talking too much. This is like apologizing to the grocer for buying too much food or too little., for buying too many sweets or not enough veggies.
