Re: Finally got an appointment
Heyo Bleue, don't be nervous - these people are here to help! And most do. My therapist wasn't sure what emet was but when I told him, he was quite open to helping me in organic ways (restructuring thinking patters/CBT) not many will force you to v* and if they suggest exposure therapy to those lengths, they clear it with you to make sure it is okay to do so - they cannot force you into anything. That would be counter productive LOL. Also I personally think forcing v* is a bad idea, unhealthy and doesn't work *most* of the time. I'm sure for some it does work but for those who have deeper issues, it only relieves emet temporarily if anything at all.
Your Doc would want to address the problems that caused your for fear v*. Not the v itself
Congrats on getting the appointment! First appt may be odd as you are getting to know this person but it gets easier as time goes on. Also don't feel discouraged if you don't feel the doc is the "right fit" sometimes people have to go through a couple to find a doctor that will address their needs or "gel" with them.
