Kati, how can I overcome the anxiety I feel about going to therapy?
Ask all questions before you even make an appt or go to an appt Questions about payment and insurance (do they take cash, checks or only cards?), where can you park, what paperwork you will need to fill out, how long the session is, and if you need to prepare anything.
1. Make time for it. I know that goes without saying, but what I really mean is, don’t plan something right after it or even right before it. Give yourself plenty of time to find your way to their office and give yourself time after to calm down, (and if you’re like me) to stop crying.
2. Visualize it! I know this sounds crazy, but our brains don’t know the difference between us visualizing ourselves doing something, and actually doing it. So take 20 minutes and sit down, close your eyes, and visualize yourself driving to your appt, parking, walking in, filling out paperwork, etc.
3. Write out what you want to get out of therapy, and bring it with you. We often forget things in the moment, especially when we are nervous. So take notes about your symptoms, what’s bothering you most, and what goals you would like to set. This will not only ensure that you don’t forget important things, but also help your therapist put together a treatment plan.
4. And finally, know that you are in control. It is your choice whether you want to keep seeing this therapist or if you think they are a good fit for you. If you don’t like them, or they don’t listen to you when you speak, you don’t have to go back. Period.PRE-ORDER MY BOOK TODAY! http://bit.ly/2s0mULy
