I was scared of working with therapists at first because the thought
of going to a therapist makes you sound like youre a psycho
or crazy and this was a hard thing to adjust to. When I first met
my therapist she was so sweet. After awhile I enjoyed going to therapy
because it was a free place where I could talk about anything. I
didnt have to feel guilty about my feelings while I was in
therapy. I struggled for a long time with not admitting I had an
eating disorder and depression. The most important thing is to be
as honest as you can with your therapist.
