đ FAQ Friday: âI donât know where to start. I feel like there is so much to sort out and fix.â
If this is you - take a breath. Youâre not alone, we hear this all the time. Therapy isnât about having it all figured out before you start. Itâs about starting because you donât.
Hereâs a gentle guide to help you begin:
â Acknowledge youâre at capacity.
Give yourself permission to seek support.
â Visit your GP.
A quick chat and a short questionnaire is all it takes. Theyâll create a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and a referral letter so you can access Medicare rebates.
(Note: You can skip this if you donât want the rebate or donât have a GP youâre comfortable with.)
â Choose your Psychologist.
You can ask your GP for recommendations or Google Psychologists near you. Look for someone whose vibe and values align with yours.
â Make the first move - or donât.
Some clients contact us directly, others ask their GP to send the referral and we reach out first. Either way works - so choose whatever feels easier for you.
â Book in.
Psychologists can have waitlists, so ask for the soonest available appointment. Your healing doesnât have to wait.
â¨Â Final tip:
Try to book your first session on a quieter day, or take time off if you can. The first few sessions can be emotional and deeply reflective. Give yourself the space to begin gently and attend with a clear mind (not pre-exhausted from work), and to rest and process afterward (think frappe under a tree, and not racing back to work/class or school pick up).Â
Youâre allowed to take up space here. Weâre ready when you are.
