Started therapy last month and it's weird but helping?

First few sessions I was just sitting there not really talking. But my therapist is cool and not judgey. Last week we talked about why I can't ask for help and it hit different. Not fixed or anything but I feel like I'm at least understanding myself better. Took me 15 years to finally do this.

Same experience here man. Took me a solid month before I actually opened up about stuff. The not judging thing is key because there's a lot of weird dad guilt and anxiety floating around in our heads that we don't talk about.

Proud of you for getting help. That takes guts. Therapy has genuinely changed my life and I wish I'd started sooner instead of just white knuckling through everything.

That's awesome you stuck with it. First few sessions are always awkward, that's totally normal. The fact that you're going and your therapist seems like a good fit is huge. Mental health stuff is just as important as keeping the kids alive, you know?
