Advice for First-Time Counseling?
Depression Support / by LookAtTheClouds
Last post
 February 2nd, 2018
...See more Hi all, I just scheduled an appointment to talk with a counselor (in person) about depression for the first time ever. I have so much on my mind, I'm not sure I'll know where to start when I get there. I know I won't be able to talk through everything all in one, one-hour session, so one of my goals is to get some help making a plan for ongoing support... But what else should I expect from this first session? How can I prepare? Will the counselor take the lead, or will I be expected to come with topics and questions to discuss? What are some reasonable goals for me to set for this experience? I'm also nervous I'll just fall apart as soon as I open my mouth and not be able to talk at all... I'd love some advice from those of you who have gone to therapy or counseling -- either just starting out or long-term gurus. Thank you! And love to you all... xxoo
