It was our first meeting, so it was just feeling out each other at the moment. But I have a feeling that Sam's directness will help me remove the uncertainty and excess from my thought processes and overthinking.

Actually really enjoyed the session. It was better than I expected. I’m not really sure what I expected. I appreciate the directness. I’m looking forward to the next session.

He’s been very helpful on getting me to see things in a way that I haven’t been able to see myself and I’ve been really appreciative of that. He gives good tips and insight on problems I’ve been dealing with and definitely the first therapist I’ve been able to really feel comfortable being honest with.
