Today, I had my first-ever counseling session, and I think it went quite well. It was only an introductory session, or ‘baseline,’ for the counselor to write a few notes, get to know me, and determine which areas we’d like to focus on in the next few weeks. I mentioned in my last post that there’s been a lot going on lately, and I started to talk about that—moving house, starting a family, and my mum’s cancer. I was asked what I wanted to get out of the session, to which I replied, “I’d like to be better,” which was enough to begin with. I’ve booked a few more sessions over the coming weeks, and I’ll see how things go.
