Therapist Visit Initial Interview

October 12th, 2007 · Health Related, psychology

Well I finally got to the therapist yesterday. Talk about relief. I was so nervous that I barely could breath before I got there. I even tried to stall time so that I wouldn’t get there too early. Kind of didn’t work. My appointment was for 11:30 am and I got there at 11:03 am.

It began to rain like crazy when I finally parked the truck in the tiny U shaped lot. The inner parts of the office are small, too. There was a kid’s corner with toys and tv for children. There was a huge reception desk, and a few chairs for just adults/teens. Around the corner was a vending area with Pepsi, Coke, and snacks. I couldn’t help but to wonder if that was a bad sign.

I got into my appointment right on schedule and the therapist herself came out to get me. I didn’t have to meet a nurse before I met her. Her office, small but cozy with bilingual material, had an overstuffed couch with pillows next to her desk and laptop. She was easy to talk to. I got to ask about the 6 month wait and all that. Apparently, if I had gone to the hospital I would have been in there four months ago. I told her I was scared someone would try to take my son, so I didn’t go. She told me all about how that doesn’t happen unless the child is in danger and whatnot.

I have another appointment in 2 weeks and every two weeks after that. I still have to see the male *blech* psychiatrist once a month… I hope he is like her so I don’t feel uncomfortable. Overall my appointment experience was good, but I will make sure to take something to occupy my mind before I am able to get inside the actual office to chat.
