One-on-one is so intense, and yet I have to remember that this was my choice... and therefore I am determined to get as much out of it as I can. But just wanted to let you know that I am rather intimidated (scared!), too.
My therapist for the last several years was a man, and I always felt very comfortable with him. This will be my first time with a woman.

I tried group counseling twice, but hated it. It's so much harder to open up in a group, so much easier to just sit and listen that it wasn't doing me any good. I was afraid to talk about myself because . . . well, for the usual reasons, because I was embarassed by my past, and because I'm a living cliche. It was easier with just the one person.

Hooray for you! Please let us know how it goes. I am so glad for you.
Good luck with yours, also. It's a crime for hot babes like us to be sad .
