I had my first therapy session yesterday from writing this entry and forgot to write about it. It went rather well! I was nervous going in and actually sitting down to talk about how my dad molested me out loud for the first time, but it was easier than expected. I told the therapist pretty much everything I said in my first post here recounting my molestation and how it went on for many years. It was great to finally say this to someone in person. It helped that my therapist is a fellow survivor as well, so I know she was able to empathize. Overall, I feel it went well enough. My next appointment is going to be Thursday. I’m still a little nervous because I can already tell this was just the easy part and it’ll likely get harder from here. At least that’s one appointment down, probably many more to go.

That's excellent news! I'm glad it's got started. And yes, I suspect there will be some interesting times to come in therapy, but it also seems to me that getting past that first hurdle (actually talking about it with another person, face to face) is a tremendous achievement.

Thanks a lot! I feel proud of it and even if it intimidates me, I’m looking forward to it nonetheless.
