I started going to a counselor yesterday, my first session. I really liked the counselor…. Got me to see some things in a different way. So why is it I feel even worse today?

maybe you’re scared what you gonna find out about your past?.. maybe because therapy takes a long time until you can get better?..
I felt the same way after my fist session and it was because i was shocked at some of the things i said. How i was able to open u about things that i didnt even know were a problem. Thats the thing about counseling, you find out a lot about yourself and you can really open up about things. Youve just got to be ready for that to happen but its so worth it later on.
After you start therapy, there’s almost always a period where things will feel worse. It’s because you’re forced to face, and talk about, things that normally a person would try to keep under wraps and ignore. Just keep with it, things will get better.
Anytime I have to explain my situation (not even my past or my depression) I feel raw for days. It’s just opening a wound and having someone prod at it. It’s terrible but it has to be done sometimes. I hope you feel better soon and continue with counselling. Hopefully it will help in the long term if you stick at it.
maybe because the attention is put on your problems and your facing your own demons
Im currently going through the same thing. I went to one therapy session and am scared to go back but its okay to be a little bit scared. Your therapist is there to help you and guide you to see the light. Just continue going and i promise you things will get better. If you need someone to talk to or someone to just listen to you, you’re more than welcome to talk to me, Id love to hear from you.
Yeah i guess i did tell her things I would have never told anyone. I hope it does get better. She says that we are going to go through much more to work on my anxiety. I hope it helps although i have the feeling its just going to bring things to the surface that i want to keep buried. I cant see how that will help right now but I will give it a try………. I have a feeling I just need a damn miracle though.
