What to Expect in your First Therapy Session

Attending your first therapy session can be both exciting and a bit daunting, especially for beginners. You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where your therapist will encourage you to share your thoughts and feelings openly. The session typically begins with an introduction, where the therapist may ask about your background, reasons for seeking therapy, and any specific goals you have in mind. It's a safe space, free from judgment, allowing you to express yourself at your own pace. The therapist may also explain their approach and the process of therapy, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. Remember, it's normal to feel nervous; many people experience the same feelings. Ultimately, this initial session is about establishing a connection and understanding how best to support you on your journey toward personal growth and healing.
