Is starting therapy supposed to feel uncomfortable? — Yes—some discomfort is common. Therapy slows things down and brings attention to areas you may have been pushing aside, and a good therapist helps that feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

It can feel strange to talk openly with someone new, especially if you’re used to handling things alone.
The goal isn’t to flood you—it’s to build capacity, pace the work, and help you feel more steady over time.
If sessions consistently feel too intense, that’s useful feedback to bring into the room.
