However, a sense of anxiety or discomfort is common when starting any new relationship. Meeting with someone else to talk about painful issues will not be easy. Only you can decide if your sense of discomfort is because of the challenge of therapy or because you are sensing that this particular therapist is not appropriate for you. The point is, you are worth it. Your recovery journey will not be easy.
Therapy can be an invaluable ingredient in the recovery process.
Most of us have times when we struggle with this. Because recovery involves change and change is disorienting - it can be confusing. You can talk with your therapist about these questions. You can talk to friends about these questions. You can get second opinions.
