I told my Therapist today I needed the instruction manual...he told me there are thousands, how would I pick? I told him to pick and he said he could narrow it to about 20...why didn't just make up my own rules? I replied because I wasn't confident that those were HIS rules. He has none, he said, except truth and a respect for the necessary boundaries. I told him this wasn't helpful...he laughed.
I think all the questions you listed are typical fears and concerns. Try to talk about the ones that really have you worried with your Therapist if you can. I'm sure she has heard it before. And ask here. I've found it to be a great source of information and support.
How long have you been going?
