First counseling session today
I finally found someone who is accepting new patients and is covered by my insurance. He called me last night and can fit me in today. I was a bit surprised to be going in so quickly but it is probably a good thing to get things rolling.
I am feeling a bit anxious about it but he seemed nice enough on the phone. I also feel almost relieved(?) that I am doing this because it makes it real and then I can't hide my feelings anymore. Which is exactly what needs to happen....
Anyways we will see how it goes.
Re: First counseling session today
I can relate to this. Once I said out loud for the first time, "I don't want to be married anymore," it got really real, really fast. Then once I had seen my therapist a couple of times, it got about a thousand times more real.
Then I suddenly found that I couldn't hold it in anymore, and I had to have the conversation with my XH. Once I gave the ball a little push, it started rolling really fast. But that was good for me. Like ripping a bandaid off.
Good luck! I hope you like counseling.
