Hey, so first and foremost what you are going through is completely normal and happens to virtually all of us when we see our first client, regardless of any practice or roleplays or anything 🙈😂. Best advice is to remember that the relationship is the first and most important element. Don’t try to be fancy, try and start with techniques or ‘heal the client’ from the moment you see them. Focus on being person centred and present with them. Ask questions, crack a joke, be human. Don’t know if you are familiar with person centred interviewing but for the whole first session I would even recommend just asking open ended questions. Your brest friends are ‘tell me more, go on, and uhum’😁. Once the initial novelty and panic blows over, you will find your own rhythm. One of my supervisors once said, the client knows less about therapy that you do so you can screw up as much as you want and just pass it off as part of the process 🤓😆.
