Just some chatter about today's therapy session

It was mostly introductory, since it was the first session (of 8, on a low-cost program I found). Talked to me about my situation, life, work, LGBT issues, and some other things

We talked some about family including parents and siblings, about how I feel trapped, feel depression, and things like that. We went into how I do a lot of reading about things and that part of my goal here is to just know about myself and what I'm affected by, and how to go forward from that.

She agrees with me on that it sounds like anxiety and C-PTSD, and gave me a few different suggestions. A couple of groups here in town that I could look into, as well as a book I could find, Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman

None of the libraries in our area seem to have it but there's a cheap physical copy on Amazon, so I might pick that up

Either way, I've got a favorable opinion, I liked her a lot, and my next appointment is October 4th

Lots of talk of goals and where I wanted to be, particularly with getting out of feeling trapped as well as the transgender issues, so I think that's where focus might be for a little bit

And that's it, just wanted to talk about today

I'm glad you had a good session <3

Thanks <3 Yeah she was really nice and personable

Oh, good <3 I was actually worried about this because I've had bad therapists and I know how important it is to find one who can help

Yeah, I was pretty nervous because I know this could've easily gone pretty badly, but no I think I'm going to like her a lot

yay for good sessions

I'm glad that it went well today

Aw, yay, I'm glad the session went well.

Thanks guys

I'm so glad your session went well and that you like your therapist.

I'm really proud and glad everything went well for you. My therapist is working through my PTSD too and I came out of a just recent group session this week. I'm happy to hear everything went good
