Being a therapist, I often have the privilege of being trusted with significant questions people have. Usually is not an answer from me what, deep down, they are looking for. It is more about making a space in which we can, together, take a closer look at whatever is going on in their inner worlds. At times..
Feeling a mix of eagerness and trepidation when considering starting therapy? It actually makes perfect sense
We all start therapy with different degrees of knowledge about the process. What should we expect? How much should I disclose? Is there a “right” timing? Can I actually get worse? What if I get too attached to my therapist and then he or she leaves? These and similar thoughts are not at all uncommon, especially in the beginning phases of therapy.
