First therapy session

Postby Rubyscarlet » Thu Sep 19, 2013 9:57 am

Today I had my first therapy session. I'm surprised how well it went. She didn't seem phased by anything I said, I only told her about two of us and just a couple of examples of how we are different and how I know we are different identities, but the therapist accepted this along with the other symptoms I mentioned. She seemed very professional and very nice too, and I felt able to answer all her questions as openly and honestly as I could.
She says we can have 5 sessions and then decide if we want to work together further or not, and if its not working she would help me find another therapist. The only problem was she doesnt speak my native language, so it was a bit frustrating when I couldn't find exactly the right words, but I felt there was still very understanding between us based on this first session, so I'll continue and see how I feel after the first 5 sessions. If she accepts that there at least 2 of us, then that is a good start.
