Well ladies and Gentlemen, I am having one of those best week ever…Well let me see, I don’t think I could ever say with absolute certainty because I don’t remember much of the past and don’t know anything about future…But at this moment of time, this week is a good week, and I am thankful for that…Often we worry about not having enough time to everything, but when you really sit down and think about, how many days of your own life span do you remember?…I have experienced changes these last few days which really taught me things about myself and what I want in life…And I wanted to say I am thankful for the experience and glad of what it taught me about myself…Till next time, bee bye Khadra

Nah tom, My appointment isn’t till April 3rd, 2007…This was a pre-inventory on my own personal life…I am definitely going to share with you the experience…I must admit though I am getting nervous and like “oh my god what am I going to talk about”…Tom you have been to psychiatrist before, would you mind sharing how your first experience went or how it felt talking to stranger about things so personal?…bee bye Khadra

Hi Khadra,
my first experience with my psychotherapist was very positive. I felt quite bad these days and it was the first time a professional listened to me for an hour (and just that fact made me feel better). And the most important thing was that she gave me the feeling that I’m not a lunatic. Or that I’m ill. Because of that I didn’t fear to say things that could lead to the conclusion that I’m a “hopeless case” – and so I began to talk.
If you mind talking about personal things – don’t worry. Psychiatrists/Psychotherapists are professionals and they know how to find your “red line” and how to cope with it.
Of course, there is one thing YOU have to manage. You have to investigate critically whether you can imagine to talk with that person about everything or not…
For me it was clear that I would prefer the psychotherapist to be a woman. The point where I knew that I could talk about everything with her didn’t come after one hour. But you’ll feel whether it’s the right person or not…
And if your first session is not what you’ve expected of it, cheer up and go to another psychiatrist. I did it the same way and it was worth it…
Cheers, Tom
