My First Few Visits with a Therapist

At first I was mad when I found out I had to go see a therapist. I wasn’t crazy and I didn’t think I needed to talk to anyone. At the beginning I didn’t want to be open with my therapist. I was mad I had to be there and I didn’t want to share any of my feelings with her. There were a few times when I wanted to stop therapy because I had to go so much but I would remember how I felt afterwards and that always made me want to go back. As time passed I began opening up and told my therapist more and more about my eating difficulties and sadness. I would tell other kids to be open with their therapists from the very beginning. It will only help them out in the end. Also, therapy is not just for crazy people. Everyone needs someone to talk to and you should be willing to at least meet with a therapist.
