Therapist next week need encouragement

[rebeccad]

So next week I see my private therapist , hubbie doesn't know so I can't share it with him , I havnt told him because he will just say "Becky you've seen loads if therapists and none have worked " he's right I have but this one specialises in health anxiety I'm soooo nervous can see me canceling I really don't want to I was determined to go but now it's getting close I'm scared x

Why not just go to the first appointment and see how it goes? You've nothing to lose and it coukd really help. What kind of therapy is it?

Hi rebbecad, Sorry to hear your having a bad time with anxiety and worrying about your first session with the new therapist.

First of all what are you worried about? What is there to be worried about regarding going to the therapy? All it can really do is help or not help and that's it. If it doesn't help then you haven't lost anything, apart from a bit of money if your paying for it. Its got to be worth a try.

Take care :)

Thanks it's a combination of cbt and psychotherapy I think , not sure what I'm worried about but I'm rubbish in new situations and I get all nervous and go bright red which makes me then even more nervous x
