so the appointment went ok today. I really hope she can stick to what she says she will do.
She seems to have a good understanding of whats going on and she was gobsmacked how many therapists ive been to in only 8 months.

We discussed where id like to go from here and getting the details and everything as well. Though I didnt have to fully explain my home life she wanted my side of the story. So this session was pretty much the normal initial session which I dont mind. She explained how she works and ive made another session.

We both went through the boundaries that I want put in place and she said every one of those is reasonable. And if/when my mother asks about the sesssions to her she will be saying I think its best you ask outlander and then changing the subject. Unless I say to her but my mums stopping therapy now anyway she wrapping up next week for her last session.

Her 'homework' that shes givens me to do over two weeks is to make a lsit of all my triggers that ive identified so far and also list all of the coping strategies I have tried and how ive used them.


So not really that much done in the initial session but im hoping I can move forward now. She has said there will be times like when I disclose or give more information about certain events but shes not rushing into it. And its set at my pace.
