How can I overcome my fear of therapy?

I've been thinking about going to therapy, but I'm really scared. What should I do?

It's completely normal to feel scared about starting therapy. Can you share what specifically makes you feel anxious?

I worry that I won't be able to open up or that the therapist won't understand me.

Those are valid concerns. Remember, therapists are trained to help you feel comfortable and understood. Would it help to know how they typically approach new clients?

Yes, that would be helpful. What can I expect in the first session?

In your first session, the therapist will likely ask about your background and what brings you to therapy. It's a chance for you to share at your own pace.
