When I first started therapy, I had a lot of questions because I didn't know much about it or even knew anyone who ever had done it. But then I found babble, which was a good thing that helped me with some of the feelings I was having in therapy.
But then I went on a quest for knowledge about therapy and there is alot of stuff our there. But I believe I went diving into all the books, websites, ect. was because I didn't fully trust him. I had to watch every move, question if he was doing therapy "right", ect. I believe when I finally stopped doing the checking and trying to control what he did, I finally was able to relax, trust him, and trust his expertise. This is when the big changes really happened I believe. I had to let go of control of the process and instead of constantly questioning him, I spent the time working on myself, questioning myself and have faith and trust in him. In a sence, I didn't start working on myself until I was able to let go of the control.
Well this is what I have been thinking about, so I thought I would share my some of my personal experiences.
