1st meeting with counselor

Well i met with new counselor/theropist today, it went extremely well. This is counselor that Chris recommended that we had lunch with last week. My appointment was at 11:30 and i was there until almost 2. Once i started talking (and crying) i couldnt stop. She actually cried with me, it felt so good to get it out, and to not be judged. I have talked with several counselors, even counselors at the shelter, but just didnt click with any of them. I have clicked with this one. I am scheduled to meet with her again on Thursday. She asked me to write down all of my faults and all of my good qualities and bring to my next session. I am having some trouble with this, i seem to be writing a lot more faults than good qualities. I want to be a good person, and i am working my way towards being a better person but it is kind of depressing to see it all in black and white.
