You Made It to the Session. That’s Enough.
Sometimes you show up to therapy and… nothing. No big revelations. No burning questions. Just silence. And that’s okay.
At Wild Mountain Counselling, we believe showing up is the work—even when you don’t know where to begin.
Why You Might Draw a Blank
- You’ve been emotionally overwhelmed and shut down
- You’re afraid to bring up what’s really on your mind
- You’re used to being asked, not doing the asking
- You’ve always prioritized others over yourself
- You’re simply tired—and need space to breathe
The Myth of the “Perfect Session”
You don’t need to arrive with a script. Therapy is about what emerges, not what’s planned.
Sometimes the most powerful sessions begin with:
- “I don’t know why I’m here.”
- “Nothing big happened this week.”
- “I’m not sure where to start.”
How We Hold Space for Silence
At Wild Mountain, your therapist might offer gentle prompts like:
- “What’s been taking up space in your mind lately?”
- “What’s your body holding onto today?”
- “If you had nothing to prove here, what might come up?”
It’s okay to start with nothing. That’s often where the most meaningful work begins.
