Thoughts like, ‘I don’t think this will help me’, ‘I don’t even know where to begin explaining’ and ‘I find it difficult to open up’ are completely normal before beginning therapy. However, your therapist is trained to handle all your hesitations and reservations. Many people seek therapy for a variety of reasons – going for therapy does not mean that there is something wrong with you. It’s a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard, understood, and validated.
