to be this nervous about my appointment?

I have an appointment tonight with a rape and sexual assault councellor. I was a victim of sexual coersion. To the extent that I was scared to say no, and my ex would have sex with me whilst I cried because I was too scared to decline or walk away. I'm just really nervous about the appointment. I haven't talked in depth with anyone about it before. I have to talk about it with a stranger and I feel really embarrassed. I'm in court soon and will be cross examined (family court, not criminal) so have this appointment to help me work through my feelings before I attend court. I'm still at work, leaving in 30 mins and feel sick with nerves. Can anyone help? I know it's pathetic and I should just be honest but it's a lot to face up to and talk about with someone you've never met before...

Presumably the counsellor will be well trained and be able to put you at ease and elicit the required information.
You may find it is actually easier to talk to a stranger rather than to someone you know.
