One of the most common things I get asked when I start with a new therapist is "what are your goals for therapy," and I never have a good answer. Like there's a lot wrong, with the world, society, me personally and my past and current, but it's extremely hard to put down a concrete goal or goals. Do you have any advice for that?
And a second question, how would you feel about a new patient coming in with an "about me" pamphlet? Because there's lots of background info about me that therapists need to know if they're going to help, but it really isn't what I want to focus on for the first few sessions.
