Time to talk....to do or not to do

[Abi90]

Hi,
I'm booked for my first telephone appointment with NHS TTT today and feeling so silly and nervous! I want to go ahead and open boxes I have been closing over the years for the feelings I could not cope with at that time but still thinking why am I doing it? This is my 3/4th attempt and I have cancelled all of them previously. This time it seems easier to do the same but I know I need to take it.
I have ideas on what will I say but what if the words wont express what I really feel?
Have any of you been there where I am? Does it get easier?
Thank you for reading 😘

Sorry I have no advice but I wanted to reach out and say well done for taking these steps, being nervous is a perfectly normal emotion.
I'm sure you'll feel much better once you start talking.
Best of luck

Thank you. ❤️😘

Well done for reaching out. It is hard at first and sometimes you won’t know what to say but as time goes on you will become more comfortable and realize that talking really does help! I’ve had about 8 sessions so far (privately) and I actually look forward to them! It’s ok to be nervous; don’t let that hold you back. Best of luck!

Thank you. That really reassuring and something to look forward too. All the best to you too ❤️😘

Did you have your appointment @Abi90 ? How did it go?

Hi, yes I did go ahead! Lots of tears and pauses later I did manage to say what I wanted to say. I feel quite tired but glad I took it. Thank you for checking on me. ❤️

Oh that's great news. I hope you feel better for it.

I hope so too. Thank you
