Parents will only let me continue staying at home if I start going to therapy for my depression
Tomorrow is my first session, what do I expect?
I'm 23 years old and have had this for as long as I can remember. I don't have any friends, the only people I talk to are my parents.
4chan is the only way I talk to people.
So yeah, what do I expect, how do I get the most out of it?

The conversation will probably flow pretty naturally if they're any good. Don't be afraid to switch if you don't like the guy. The first dude I went to when I was 16 (when my life started to spiral downwards) kept talking about his Chad son who was a big-shot on the basketball team or something. Literally just made me feel like more of a failure. After 3 more therapists over 8 years I finally found one that was pretty decent.
I had a hot MILF therapist with big boobs who flaunted them.
I hope you have an XX therapist and can have XXX thoughts about her.

If the therapist wants to touch you, don't be afraid to stop him if you feel it's inappropriate. I'm speaking from experience, though I learned the hard way.

you'll probably enjoy therapy.

this is me exactly, except my parents aren't making me go to therapy yet, but they tell me I need to all the time
can't you what to expect, but would you please make a post after you get back telling us how it went? I would be interested if you thought it actually helped you at all

My therapist is a woman
Should I be worried? Tbh women piss me off because of how they view the world and idk if I'd be able to be 100% truthful with her.

Literally in the same position, but I am 19. I've now had two sessions. It isn't bad as long as you don't get unlucky with a judgmental therapist (most arent I suppose). I'm still in the stage of him just asking questions, so idk what really happens past then. I guess just don't be afraid? It's not as intimidating as you think.

One of the therapists I had was a woman. She was kind of old so it was hard to relate to her. She was alright though. You won't really be able to tell if you click until you get in there. At least it doesn't feel too long when you're there since you're mostly talking about yourself. Expect some shit that sounds like it came straight from a psychology textbook, even my best therapist adhered to a system. Not a bad thing I guess, but the advice is usually pretty structured. Sometimes they'll give you some 'homework', but I don't really think they give a shit if you ignore it or put in minimal effort. I guess it's really as helpful as you make it, something has to click in your mind for you to 'get' it. I've always understood the concept of the things my therapists have said, and even agreed with them, but it's hard for me to actually 'feel' it. Hopefully it'll work out for you.
