Reassurance that showing up unsure is a completely valid place to begin.
Not everyone comes to therapy with a name for what they’re feeling
Some people arrive with a clear issue in mind.
Others come carrying something heavy and hard to explain — just a sense that something’s not right.
You might be feeling stuck, foggy, exhausted, tearful, irritable, numb — or some blend of all of it.
It’s okay if your thoughts feel unclear. You don’t have to lay it all out neatly.
This isn’t about presenting a polished version of what you’re feeling — it’s about giving those feelings space to be seen and heard.
Therapy doesn’t always begin in a straight line
If you’ve been holding things in for a long time, they might come out in fragments.
Or in a jumble.
Or not at all, at first.
That’s what therapy is for.
You don’t need to worry about saying the right thing.
We can sit with what’s there and make sense of it together — piece by piece, in your own time.
A few places you might begin…
You could start by sharing:
- What’s been feeling heavy lately
- A pattern you’ve noticed but don’t understand
- Something you keep circling back to
- What it was that made you reach out now
Or we can simply begin wherever your thoughts take you in the moment.
No pressure. No wrong way.
You don’t need to untangle everything to be heard
If you’re showing up, that’s enough.
We can work with fragments.
We can follow the threads.
We can sit in silence, if that’s what’s needed.
Therapy is about meeting yourself — not getting it right.
