Therapy

That's ok! Don't fight your feelings, it's literally the therapists job to help you work through what's going on. So proud of you for seeking the help you need ❤️ good luck mama!

Their job is to listen no matter how you communicate. Try to talk to them like you would a trusted friend. Don't worry about what you are feeling or how those feelings come out

This is not a bad thing! You are opening up and that comes with a lot of feelings. I do the opposite and act like nothing is wrong and go on autopilot but I’m screaming on the inside. You got this!! Let it out! Let them do their job to help you.

@Alexi the thing is I no longer have friends. I always try to make friends but I for some reason just shut them out.

I’ve realized that me not being able to express my feelings and thoughts is making my push my spouse away. He no longer wants to talk to me if he knows I’m a little upset. He no longer acknowledges me at all. I feel like I’m going in circles one second I could be laughing to the point of choking lol but sometimes I would just cry for no reason. And if I start crying I don’t know how to stop.

Hey, I'm a therapist and it is 1000% okay to break down if you need to. That's the point. The therapy space is for whatever you need. We are very used to people being emotional in the first session (and beyond). It's a big emotional thing you're doing and it's okay to feel the weight of that. In general though a first appointment is going to be a lot of question asking so they can get history and a baseline as well as set up a few goals with you to work towards (insurance requires a treatment plan so they will probably start you off with some vague goals that you can get narrow down later)

@Lucy Morales I've felt the same way.
