Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice what you are going to say beforehand. Express what you hope to achieve by attending therapy. Share your thoughts and feelings openly. Think of your therapist as your closest confidante.

Answer: Get the tough stuff out as soon as possible. Plan out what you're going to say and how you're going to say it before you attend your sessions. You may have learned to stay silent as a coping mechanism or to keep yourself safe, but you don't have to do this with your therapist. For instance, you might practice by introducing yourself and stating the reason you came. "Hi, I'm Matthew. I came in because I have been having trouble fitting in at school." Therapy is a safe place in which you are able to speak about how you feel in an open and supportive environment. Over time, you'll likely find that opening up will become easier. Talk about the problem you want to overcome, the area in your life you want to improve upon, or whatever it is that brought you to therapy, during the first or second session. When you talk about your goals and expectations with your therapist, you can create benchmarks that you can use to measure your success along the way. For example, you might say, "I came here because I have problems socially. I would really like to have more friends and go out more." Don't hold back. Talk to your therapist about everything you are feeling, even if you think it is unimportant. Not divulging everything could be detrimental to your recovery. Intentionally leaving out facts that you are embarrassed about or feel shy revealing could hinder you. If you're not completely open with your therapist, you are essentially wasting your time. Be open by saying what you really feel--it's the only way your therapist can truly help. For example, say "I feel like a total loser because I'm always be myself when everyone else is always hanging out with friends in a group." And, remember that he or she is bound by law to protect your confidentiality. Know that you can tell your therapist anything and you won't receive judgment or criticism. However, keep in mind that your therapist is bound by law to intervene if you express an intent to harm yourself or another person. Keep in mind that this is in your best interest. And also know that your therapist won't leave you unexpectedly. The therapist/patient relationship is special, and one that can be comforting and beneficial.
