I posted that I'm thinking about starting a therapy group for women with csa issues. The therapist called me back a little while ago and we talked for a few minutes about the group. She wants me to come and meet her so we made an appointment for 10am tomorrow. She was very nice, answered a lot of questions and said she thinks being in a group could help me. Now I'm terrified. So I hung up the phone and called my therapist in a panic.
He called back and said he hadn't realized I'd called about the group but he thought it was a good thing to at least check it out. He told me that the best thing to do was make a list of questions and take them with me, in case I got nervous and froze up. (who, me?) So, what kind of questions do I ask? I've already asked if there are any other people in the group seeing my therapist (no) and what the length of the commitment is. (none) She said they sort of do a round the circle check in and then someone will express the need to talk. And things usually move ahead from there. It is 1x a week for 90 minutes.
So, what else do I need to ask? And what do I watch out for? And how do I not feel sent away by my own therapist?
Hold my hand you guys. I'm scared.
