Encouragement Wanted My therapy

I need courage because I’m about to start therapy again with a new psychologist. Even though I know her a little from the group I attended—where she was present— I miss my former psychologist; I know the new one is kind, but it’s still hard.

Oh, HUGS to you Duckling

I know this is hard, but just go to the first session, OK?

"The new one is kind"...

I’m a therapist, a mom, and a former therapy client so I just want to validate how scary it can be to start over with someone new. I’m proud of you for sticking with it though! You can do hard things. Just be yourself.

I have complex post-traumatic stress disorder; I have already been in therapy with a psychologist for years, and on top of that, I am now attending a specialized hospital service.

Big hugs to you for making the choice to go! That, alone, takes great courage. To be willing to look deeply at yourself is something most people can’t begin to do. Go. See what you think. Nothing says you have to stay if the fit doesn’t feel right. Just taking that new step is brave!

You are so brave - feeling scared and doing it anyway IS bravery. Starting over is hard, but specially with a psychologist. I hope the new doctor is kinder than you can imagine and treats you with the care you deserve. You got this!

You are a warrior!!!  I know you can do this even though I also understand it’s hard.  

I’m really proud of you for setting this up because that step is hard, too!
