I have been assigned a counsellor through a local PND charity and the first meeting is tomorrow. I've never seen one before and the thought of talking about how I feel is making me incredibly anxious and afraid.
I've never been good at talking about myself, especially at the moment as it backs my fears that I'm self-indulgent and should be thinking about those around me rather than myself.
My PND was diagnosed over a year ago but is getting steadily worse. ADs didn't really help so I came off them slowly a few months ago. I was hoping some talking therapy might be useful and I know that I owe it to DS and DP to get myself well as currently I'm a bit of a mess and not a good mum or partner.
Does anyone have any experience of seeing a counsellor for PND? What are they likely to ask? Did you have any useful coping strategies if you found it difficult?
