About this episode
Want to hear 10 things I tell my clients in the first therapy session? Today, I'm giving you a peek into what it's like to have a first session with a therapist who specializes in OCD and anxiety. I have been working with people who have OCD and anxiety since 2008, so I’ve crafted my first session over time. While it varies for everyone, some foundational principles are crucial for anyone starting their treatment journey.
Here's a little preview of what we'll cover:
- 10 things I tell my clients during their first therapy session
- How to prepare for your first session
- What I wish more people knew before their first appointment
