Counseling is a team effort. During your first visit you will be asked a questions about why you sought therapy, your health, past history, and current symptoms. Be prepared to answer questions and describe your feelings of what is going on. Being able to be open and honest is important to being able to provide you with the best possible care. Also, you may have your own questions.
The more that you understand the therapy process the more comfortable you'll be and the more productive your experience will be. Having questions prior to your first session is helpful. Understand that therapy is not a quick fix, but a process. It most likely took you a while to get where you are at, so it make take awhile to get to where you want to go.
Your therapist may also assign homework, which can be an important part in your treatment and healing. You may also work on setting goals. Counseling is an intensely personal process which can bring unpleasant memories or emotions to the surface. There are no guarantees that counseling will work for you.
