Therapy can be very intimidating and scary, but you are taking a major step toward getting better. Here are a few things to help you with your new journey!
First of all there is a bit of sticker shock! Its expensive, but if your willing to put in the effort it is well worth the money in the long run. It tends to be even more expensive if you see a psychiatrist but remember you only see them once a month or so!
Second, make sure you are comfortable with your therapist! It is different for every person, so there is not one size fits all rule. If for any reason you are uncomfortable with the person you are pouring your heart out to…look for a new one! It took me a while to find the right one!
Third, remember to make it worth it! Really talk to the therapist about what is going wrong. Tell them what makes you anxious; what you are worried about, what you are frightened of, your actual suicide level and just how you are feeling!
Finally, remember the conversation you have with your therapist is between only the 2 of you unless you give the OK to tell someone else! So congratulations on your first step towards the rest of your life!
