Has anyone ever seen a psychologist before and can give me some insight on what to expect my first few sessions? I’m seeing someone to talk about my anxiety and how I recently realized it revolves around childhood trauma. I had an abusive and scary upbringing. It wasn’t without love to some degree but my dad was a violent and mean alcoholic and I think I have something like PTSD because of it. I often don’t feel good enough. Some days I just feel like crying. Most days I’m generally happy and feel blessed in my life but then other days all I hear and see are horrifying memories from the past. I’ve noticed I’ve had memory issues and I think this may all be related. I wish I could just go in and say exactly what I just typed to you all but even talking to the psychologist on the phone to make my appointment I was choked up and could hardly get the information across as to why I need to talk to someone. And here I am right now worried I’m not going to be “good” at therapy. It’s like a vicious cycle. My anxiety has been a lot lately. More than usual. I’m just trying to do the right thing since we are trying to start a family. I want to be the best version of myself for my husband and future kiddos ❤️
