Hi everyone
Ive been doing cbt over the phone for a couple of weeks, & although I think its helping Ive realised I really need some sort of therapy where I can talk about my past, how it has affected me & how I can deal with it.
So I asked if I can have some one to one counselling aswell, & theyve just rang me & booked a session on friday.
Im over the moon that I can do both, plus the fact that its all free. The only concern I have is that its with a male therapist (Im female btw), & I find it really difficult to open up to men. Ive just ended an abusive relationship which I really need to deal with, & I believe most of my issues are due to my relationships with men & also with my parents (especially my dad). I just dont know if Ill feel comfortable enough talking to a man about my problems - my cbt therapist is also male & I dont open up to him as much as I probably should. I dont know whether to tell them Id rather see a woman, but then Id probably have to wait a while. Or shall I just give it a try & see how it goes? Has anyone else been in this position? x
