Is it normal to go into therapy feeling nervous?
I've gone to a couple therapy sessions so far and still everytime I walk in I get nervous and shaky.  Is this normal? Should I still be feeling like this?
Anxiety,Counseling Fundamentals 
<p>"Normal" can be an insidious word to use because it can undermine your sense of worth. &nbsp;It implies there's one particular way you should be behaving and can leave you feeling crappy and "abnormal" if you're not behaving according to that prescribed standard. &nbsp;</p><p>Instead, what I'd recommend is to pay attention to your emotional experiences when you're attending therapy. &nbsp;Explore your feelings and thoughts without judgement and try to reflect and understand what's going on that's causing you anxiety. &nbsp;Once you figure out the underlying meaning of the anxiety, you can figure out a way to handle it and action steps to take to diminish it. &nbsp;</p>
