I went to my first session last month because my physical symptoms were getting out of hand. Despite maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, I was waking up with nausea every week morning. I was crying a lot and stressing out about every little thing. I felt like an impostor at my job which I will admit is a major source of pressure and stress.

I couldn’t handle feeling this awful almost every day so I googled to find a therapist. The following week I was able to meet her for the first time. It was also important for me to be able to do it in person, while also respecting sanitary measures.

My first session went really good, but of course I had to unfold a lot of details about my life for 60 minutes, but afterwards, my physical symptoms were mostly gone. 

Anyway I am going back next week and I wonder what I should do for my next session. Aside from anxiety, I have very low self esteem and have some patterns I would like to stop doing. I want to feel more aware of my emotions. But what should I do for my second session? Unfold more things for my past to help my therapist understand me better? Ask for advice? 

Thanks for reading anyway, love this supporting community.
