So, you have filled out the mountains of forms. You are ready to go in and spill your guts to your therapist. Before you do, it is important to know that the first session will mostly be information gathering. This will not be a normal therapy session. I repeat: this will not be a normal therapy session.

This session is to gather more information from you, really a sense of who you are (and for you to meet and get a sense of your therapist), provide you an opportunity to elaborate on any of your answers on your intake form. During this session you may often feel the need to focus on the critical aspects that drew you to therapy; but, as urgent as those feel, you probably won’t get the chance to talk about them in depth. Not that your therapist doesn’t want to hear about the things you’re coming in for! If you come in and talk about your problem before your therapist can fully understand you as a person, they may not be able to provide you the most individualized help.

The intake session can be quite nerve wracking, but hopefully, you will have a positive experience and you are able to begin your journey towards health!
