What should I do if I feel nervous before each psychological consultation?

The patient has undergone psychological counseling for two years, and is still very nervous before each start. What should I do?

We can analyze this problem.

Will this tension affect your counseling?

If your nervousness has some or even greater impact on your psychological counseling, and you cannot overcome it, then the best way is to communicate your nervousness directly with the psychologist, discuss this issue with the psychologist, and ask for help. Find the cause of the problem and find a way to overcome the tension.

If nervous, it has no effect on psychological counseling. You can actually accept your nervousness. My own nervousness can be a problem, but not if it doesn't affect me at all. Not all problems need to be solved.

Of course, although my nervousness has no effect on counseling or other aspects, I can also explore further from the perspective of self-growth. For example, I can analyze and perceive under what circumstances I am easily nervous, and when did I start to feel this way? What's causing this tension? Are you afraid of authority or something else? This kind of self-growth can be brought into counseling, and discuss this topic with a counselor.

In conclusion, if you think it's a problem, you can have a very candid conversation about the topic with the counselor, and the counselor welcomes that exchange, so don't have any concerns. If you think it is a problem, but it seems difficult to tell the counselor clearly, you may wish to check whether there is any problem in your counseling relationship with the counselor, and even consider whether the counselor is suitable for you. A good counselor should be able to perceive a certain emotion of the client for a long time and be able to respond.
