Im about to go to therapy for the first time, and I don't know if I should write all my issues down, or if I should just go in and let the Doctor lead or what... any advice would be wonderously helpful!

a therapist will cover EVERYTHING lol..but if your nervous, or want to be sure, making a list isnt a bad idea. actually, i think it would be a really good idea, so you get the best of your visit. good luck :)

There is no certain way to prepare for therapy and usually you are only given a hour for a session and if you are like me a hour isn't very long!! Just keep in mind some major issues you want to talk about. Some times the first appointment is a bunch of questions so they can evaluate you to see what kind of therapy you need. You might not even get to discuss issues the first visit. Just keep your chin up and I am glad that you are seeking the help of a therapist! ;o)

I would go in with an open mind and wait to see what method the therapist uses. He/she will have their own way of running the session. U know what your problems are and maybe the issues will flow better if u don't have the topics planned.

Shrinks know the questions to ask. lol. I went to one against my will and was completely cornered. He had me going in circles with my lies in about 10mins.
Don't write anything down. Just go in and express yourself as he guides you. You don't need to "prep".. you are there to express yourself.. that doesn't need to be written. Just discuss them as they flow out of you. But If you think you will forget a topic, you can jot down little reminders on a piece of paper it won't hurt.

Don't worry so much about getting it right. The therapist will guide you in the process. But, it can't hurt to journal before you go.

Just go in and let the doctor take over. Since you have no clue what he will want to do for your first appointment just relax and let him do his job.
