Working with Therapists


I was scared of working with therapists at first because the thought of going to a therapist makes you sound like you’re 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 didn’t 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.
