During your first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings. Here’s a general outline of what typically happens:
1. Introductions: The session will begin with introductions, where your counselor will establish rapport and explain their approach to therapy.
2. Confidentiality: Your counselor will discuss confidentiality and its limits, ensuring you feel safe to share openly.
3. Gathering Information: You will be asked questions about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through counseling. This helps the counselor understand your unique situation.
4. Setting Goals: Together, you will discuss your goals for therapy, which can guide your sessions moving forward.
5. Questions and Concerns: Feel free to ask any questions or express concerns about the process. This is a collaborative space, and your comfort is important.
6. Next Steps: By the end of the session, you will likely discuss what to expect in future sessions and any immediate steps you can take.
Remember, the first session is about getting to know each other and laying the groundwork for your therapeutic journey. It's perfectly normal to feel a bit nervous, but your counselor is there to support you every step of the way.
