How can I NOT feel nervous & scared about going to counseling tomorrow?

find a different one. I went through a similar situation in high school, my mother used to hit me (worse than the usual , I mean, lip busting, hair pulling, smashing my head into a door....and that was all in one night) and during the school day I had to talk to some social worker/counselor named Amanda. My mom used to take Spanish cles in the evening, and I used to her hear mentioning an Amanda but I didn't pay it any attention. So on our second or third session, Amanda asked me to explain a recent blowup that happened between my mother and I. When I started explaining things to her and telling her about how my mom busted my lip and pushed me onto the stairs and stuff, she just stared at me blankly and then said "Well I have Spanish cl with her in the evenings and she doesn't seem like the type of person who would do these kinds of things" and she said it in this "matter-of-fact snippy type of voice" so after that when my school would call me on the intercom to go to the guidance office, I just never showed up. When she didn't believe me it felt like I was alone in the world and that when I wanted to open up and let my bottled-up feelings out that I wasn't going to be believed. To a teenage girl who has to walk around school with a busted lip and lie to her friends and say she fell in the shower when in reality she got punched in the mouth by a mom who lost her temper over something dumb (I said 'whatever' to my stepdad and she socked me right in the mouth) thats hard to go through! you should DEFINITELY (for your own good and your own well-being) get another counselor!!!
