And now you're sitting in the waiting room, and you're thinking: 'What do I even say?'That's what we're talking about today. How do you start that conversation? How do you open up? How do you ask for what you need?Because here's the thing: A lot of survivors go into that first session and freeze. They don't know where to start. They minimize their experience. They don't ask for what they need.And then they leave feeling like the therapist didn't understand them.But the truth is: You have to help your therapist understand you. You have to be honest. You have to speak up.Support the showhttps://www.youtube.com/@TERRORTOTRIUMPHLIVEhttps://www.peltsemporium.com
