Question 1

I’ve never done therapy before - what should I expect?

Accepted Answer

The first session is relaxed and exploratory. We’ll talk about what’s going on for you, what you’d like help with, and whether CBT is a good fit.

Question 2

Do I have to talk about everything from my past?

Accepted Answer

Not unless it’s relevant. CBT focuses on the here and now - although understanding past patterns can help, you’re always in control of what you share.

Question 3

Is it okay if I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many people feel this way. Part of our work will be helping you understand and name what’s going on - you don’t need to have it figured out first.

Question 4

Will I be judged if I talk about things I’m ashamed of?

Accepted Answer

No - therapy at Kind Mind IOM offers a non-judgemental, compassionate space. You’re not expected to be perfect, and you’re not alone in what you’re experiencing.
