WHAT TO EXPECT IN A THERAPY SESSION

Whether you’re thinking of talking to a therapist or you’ve already booked your appointment, thinking about your first session might be nerve-wracking for some. You might go back and forth on whether to even go. Many people schedule, cancel, and then reschedule that first appointment.

You might be wondering questions like: What are they going to ask me? Are my issues too minor to be speaking with a therapist? Will they judge me? Will I be asked to bare my feelings to them? Not knowing what to expect is often what keeps people from attending therapy in the first place. Being nervous about this is completely normal though. I don’t know about you, but I still get a bit nervous about meeting someone for the first time – even a therapist.

To ease those first-appointment jitters you might have, we’re going to share what to expect in that first session to demystify the process for you. We’ll also share the most common questions a therapist may ask during that initial meeting.
