What you want out of therapy
Be completely honest about what you want out of this. Even if it doesn’t sound good. Maybe you say, “I want someone to understand that my parents are abusive and abandon me and all my issues are their fault.” While I can almost certainly promise you your therapist will help you discover that that last part isn’t true (we always play a role in our issues), it’s good for her to hear what your honest-to-god, even if it isn’t pretty, desire is out of this. She may not get you what you want. But in learning what you want, she learns a lot about you and where you’re at mentally and emotionally. She’ll learn what you need. So just tell her what you want, right now, even if it doesn’t sound good.
