Starting therapy can feel intimidating if you don’t know what to expect. Many people worry about saying the “right” things or wonder how the process works.
The first therapy session is typically focused on getting to know you. Your therapist may ask questions about:
- Your current concerns
- Personal history and background
- Relationships and support systems
- Goals for therapy
This conversation helps your therapist understand your experiences and determine how best to support you.
It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions. You might want to know about the therapist’s approach, how sessions are structured, or what progress might look like.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process. The relationship between you and your therapist is an important part of the work, and building trust takes time.
You don’t need to share everything immediately. It’s perfectly okay to move at your own pace.
