I guess the subject tells the story kinda..
I just finished with my first therapy session. My therapist was very sweet to me, and managed to pull things out I don't think I've ever said out loud even to myself.
She ended the session asking what name I prefer and I told her. When she said it back to me I smiled like I won the lottery. Things are really happening and I love it. I wanted to just pounce and hug her when I left but I held back. ^^
that's great :)
I got my first session in march, which is making me incredibly nervous, let's hope it goes as well as it does in your case :D
CONGRATS!
I know it was hard, but it will be so worth it in the long run. A happy, new and exciting life awaits you! :)
