Talking with therapist

[JonnyD]

Well , just started my therapy yesterday , and that when pretty well

still, i have the tendency to analyse and search for a way to conceal things, or avoid to say things that will possiblilly make me embarassed :/, i found myself thinking about what i would not write on that creepy list she made me make! And that's pretty stupid since i'm there to cure it.

I also find it very hard to speak with her about not being able to speak with women in my age, that's because i don't want my therapist thinking i'm just looking for a cure to my relationships problems, i feel emabaressed with every girl in my age.

Keep in mind that you don't have to tell the therapist everything; only say what's relevant and might help you. But also keep in mind that if you don't speak about your problems, there really is no point going to the therapist.

I think you shouldn't conceal anything. You need to be 100 percent honest, so she can help you. Your therapist may not know how to properly diagnose and treat you if you withhold information. Tell her all your problems even if it is embarrasing. Otherwise you are likely to be in therapy longer and results will take longer and eventually the truth will probably come out anyway.

If she doesn't know you have problems talking to women your age, she can't prescribe proper treatment.

Sorry, bit I don´t agree with you in relation to not saying everything to the phychologist. A phychologist knows very well, according to the illness of a paitent, what is relevant or irrelevant to ask. From my point of view, in a first appointement is diffucult to express all that happens to you ´cause you´re blocked out but having a sincere relation with your phychologist is not only necessary but crucial!

Greetings!

I tried it but it was really uncomfortable for me. It's really hard for me to open up to a therapist so I just never went again.
