Therapy for first time in a long time

[TE55]

I have been thinking to post this yesterday, but I had WiFi problems.

I have not been to therapist for a long time and I thought I didn't need it. But with the normal stress from school and social came one big problem. So I decided on my own to go to see my old therapist. I am not afraid of her, she is very good at her job. But I am afraid of what will happen then. Do you have any way of helping me to not tremble in fear when  I get close to her office? Thank you very muuch

Hey there,

Yeah, we can absolutely help you with this. I'm wondering, can you tell me what it is you're fearful of?

Well, I will have to start to think about that problem and solve it. But I am afraid that it may end up bad when i start solving it.. if that makes sense

Hi there, yes that does make sense, it can be scary to not know what the outcome will be. 

A good therapist leads you carefully through the issues or issues and would not expect you to solve everything all at once. They lead you through step by step so it doesn't feel like such a huge task - doing it this way feels a lot less stressful. 

How does that sound?

Hey there,

I'm glad it wasn't that bad; what did you think helped it to not be that bad?

[TE55]

Maybe the fact that I knew her from a lot of times. And that she is professional with teens' problems

That's good and it sounds like you've got a good relationship already which will definitely help. Would you like anymore support for now, or are you good?
