okay since the interwebs is such serious bizness it appears... here's a more straight and narrow answer. (and yeah its going to basically mirror the other excellent serious answers already given)

OP- I can understand the apprehension etc, but having been thru various stages of "therapy" in my life I can tell you you will likely get exactly out of it what you want/choose.
Your parents are paying for something they hope will help you in some way.
Those motivations don't have to be yours. Nor do they have to necessarily collide with yours.
Take the time to talk about the things you want to talk about and not feel like it's some intervention only about poker.
Don't go into it thinking you have to defend why you like playing poker and you may get more out of it than you think. Participate and find out what that is.

Brings up an old phrase I haven't heard in a long time.

Don't anticipate. Participate.
