My first therapy session

I had gone back to the counselor that she and I went to once. I didn't like him. He didn't want me there and I wasn't ready to help myself. I don't count that as the first one.
I walked into the school's counseling center feeling like a loser. I swear everyone knew I wasn't wearing my ring anymore. They could see I was rejected by my wife and that I should be put on an island somewhere where rejects go. I was a failure. I was sick of talking about it to my friends and was sure they were too. I was the party pooper.; My family still didn't know. "Hi, I'm here to see...." The nice lady said "Could you fill these out and bring them back to me?" What do you hope to get out of this session? I answer, I want to know why my wife is leaving me! It made sense to me. This guy had answers and I wanted them. I get into the office and talked straight for 1 hour and 5 minutes. It felt good just to get it out. He told me I was going through grief. That kinda made sense. I had gone through denial and was in the bargaining phase. I'm glad I went. I make another appointment.
