So you are contemplating therapy…
But you are unsure of what therapy really is. Does it mean you are…don’t say it…okay, you said it…crazy? Does it mean you are weak? But what will people think of you? If you are here reading this, one, or all of these things may have gone through your head as you began contemplating if therapy is right for you. The answer to the questions above is NO!
Therapy is one of the most misunderstood medical services out there. If you had diabetes, would you go to the doctor for treatment? I bet you would. So why do SO MANY people avoid taking care of their mental wellbeing? Mental health is JUST as important as physical health…in my opinion, sometimes more important. In most cases, the two go hand in hand. So why do I need therapy? Lets reframe that to how can therapy help me?
