At first I didn't exactly feel a connection with my therapist, Amanda. But I reminded myself that the first visit with a mental health person needs to be about getting a baseline on the patient so that the therapist knows what they are getting into. By the end of the session, I felt more of a connection with her. When we wrapped up the session, Amanda made sure to specifically repeat back to me my biggest concerns and she gave me hope that she can work with me to address my concerns.  I have a good feeling that she will be someone I can trust and will help me feel better.
