In therapy sessions, you will be speaking in open and honest terms with your therapist inside a safe bubble of privacy. A therapist will listen, hold space for you, support you where needed, and commit to helping you work through your issues.
Especially in the beginning, it is natural to feel lost as to what exactly to discuss with your mental health professional. Yes, your therapist will be the one leading the conversation and engaging you to delve deeper into your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. You can start by just speaking about whatever is coming up for you, and your therapist will help you to go deeper into things that may relate to what you want to focus on.
