for starters, i have finally done my mental health consultation last saturday! claps yey!!! it seemed a bit like a first date of sorts pero nakaraos naman and i could say nabunutan ako ng isa sa maraming tinik sa dibdib~

so dumating na yung email recommendation re next step of my journey and it said na i'll be doing psychotherapy with a specific psychologist. as a way to prepare, i stalk my future hcps and the psychologist in question has posts like this on epbidatkom (the photos).

problem ko now is i kinda feel cautious about going to therapy particularly because i specifically chose the psych center from recoms bc aside from being bading-friendly, most staff and ceo are part of the pink 🌸🌷movement tapos may mole naman pala sa group nila. would this be a factor for me to not feel comfy with her during sessions despite the credentials listed in her (female po preference na sinabi ko) provider profile.

another question is, is it possible kaya to ask for my hcp to be changed? what reasons could i give if ever? do i just be honest or make up an excuse to not collaborate with her as a patient? what else could i do?
