1st Day on the Couch

So yesterday was my first therapy session with Melinda Liber. First off, let me tell you how sweet and honestly caring she is. I know she gets paid to be that way, but I think that she genuinely cares about people. She's not just there for shits and giggles, she really does want what's best for her patients/clients (I haven't gotten all the lingo down yet). Ryan still doesn't know. Ugh...I suck at life sometimes. I'm such chicken shit around him most of the time. I just don't know how to tell him. Here's what I'm thinking. I'll say that I had a consultation with her and that I would like him to go with me to the next appointment. Sound good? We'll see....

She told me, in so many words, that she thinks we'll either get him to counseling with me, or I'll find the courage to make the drastic change that needs to be made. I'm scared. But I also feel liberated after just one appointment. This could be a good thing for me. A really good thing.
