Is it normal to be so nervous about my first therapist appointment? Can I really tell him how I feel?

Nervous is normal. Just go with the flow. If you have a big meltdown or ramble, that's OK . They are used to it You wouldn't be the first one who did that. Hopefully this will be the start of some healing for you. (((((hugs)))) Let us know how it goes.

Yes it is normal.

When you get there, just picture how many different people have also walked through that door to their first ever therapy session, and how they all will have been wondering the same things.

It is your therapist's job to earn your trust. Let her or him guide you and just see how it goes.

And don't forget to tell us how you get on! Big hugs, hope it goes well.

Don't worry Tiger your therapist will lead you gently and the first few sessions will be about getting to know you. If you feel uncomfortable with this therapist it's perfectly OK to tell them you don't feel comfortable working with them and find someone else. Just relax and cry if you need to they always have boxes of tissues handy. Just be hones and if you don't like a question just say you are not ready to talk about that yet.

I've been going to therapy for a couple of years..

Dont worry about it. Your therapist will kind of lead you with questions .. or mine did. You shouldn't hold back.. and be truthful about how you feel.. it might feel good to get that off your chest... if you cry .. you cry.. I have cried many times in my sessions..
