I have to see my therapist today. I like her she's great and I wanna open up to her but I'm scared I'll say something stupid or start crying. I always cry and it's so embarrassing any advice at all would help thanks!

Hi! I know I probably can't assuage all your worries, but I just want to say don't worry about it. My aunt is a therapist and I get to see the types of people she works with. They're all patient and kind - their jobs basically say they have to be a good person since they help people. When you visit a therapist, they expect you to say something stupid. They expect you to start crying and they most certainly will not judge any of it. They listen and help. Just be normal - I know it's probably easier said than done, but try to be yourself. Don't feel restrained and just say what's on your mind. In all honesty, your therapist has probably seen a bunch of other people who are far harder to handle than you - they won't judge you whatsoever. So as long as you have a half-decent therapist (which is 99% going to be the case), you definitely have nothing to worry about
ReplyRemember. They're there to help and support. Don't be afraid to be yourself.
ReplyI get that. I cry easily most of the time, and I go to therapy too. As someone who really hates to cry in front of people (i guess because it makes me feel weak/vulnerable and I don't like feeling that way), it's surprisingly not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I cried in front of mine and after a few minutes of hating myself for breaking down in front of her and her trying to reassure me that it was okay, I realized that that's what she's there for, and there's nothing wrong with me showing weakness to her. She's my therapist, she's a professional at helping people and she fully expects you to cry. It's okay, I promise. Hope this helps
