Yes this is the way of it. Begin with a teacher, and in person—not remotely, not from a book, not from video. An experienced teacher will be able to impart the practice to you with an eye to any challenges that will arise, and will set you up to continue on your own afterwards. This is how meditation has always been taught, and it is this way for a reason. Every person has their demons and their specific conditioning. A teacher must be able to see/hear you in order to teach you.
