    Starting Therapy? What Teens Can Expect full video:
    • Starting Therapy?? Wha...
    We call this first therapy session a Client Assessment- and as much as it’s about us getting to know you as a potential Client, this is your opportunity to see if our style and expertise matches what you need, too.
    While it is completely your choice about how much you reveal or decide to share in your sessions- I’d be careful about being too guarded because it could make it difficult for your therapist to complete a full assessment of your needs.
    That being said, you get what you put in and it’s your therapy, and ultimately your life.
    Mini-Disclaimer: While I am a therapist, this content is meant for educational and informational purposes only. It does not mean I am your therapist. Gentle Reminder that social media is NOT therapy.

    my mom said that it might be a good idea if I would like to go to an doctor or a therapy. “Ofc there was some talking between me and my mom and I think that’s why she got this thought off me going to the doctor/therapy” keep in mind I’m from Denmark I live in Denmark. Okey so I just don’t really know what’s it’s like going to the doctor or therapy and talking about these thing i think it’s super super scary to talk about my self and that’s we’re my confidence slow down be cuz I don’t know if I should go or not but you’re Chanel helps so much but there is some things that I can’t really find the answer too and I’m scared to ask my parents or the closest and sense my profile is private I want to ask you a few questions it might be a bit weird but it’s something that I really care and took my courage to talk about and now I just wanna ask you these questions as if this was at the therapy or doctor and you answer if you have time!

    Do you have any tips on how I should ask my parents for help? I've been on and off in a dark place for the past 2 years now, but I can't bring myself to ask anyone. I feel like I'll get a sense of shame and judgment... How can I be more comfortable with those around me?

    Should i be 100% comfortable? Do therapists talk to my parents about our session?

    • @mallorygrimste
      @mallorygrimste  Рік тому

      Great questions- probably not being 100% comfortable is a good thing. Any new situation will give you a little anxiety/excitement because it’s new to us. As for talking to your parents every therapist has a different style so it’s best to ask them directly how much, when and why they’d talk with parents if that’s something they do.
