"I am here now as living and breathing proof that therapy saves lives. What once felt like a burden has now transformed into a lifeline. ...

As you move from session to session, you begin to build on more topics and life events as they unfold. And as we share our experiences, the voice in our head that has always told us that we’re all alone suddenly becomes muted. Our inner thoughts are replaced with an appreciation for simply being brave enough to speak up.

Like most things, this individualized progression isn’t perfect all the time. There are still days when I struggle to say what’s on my mind. More often than not, I have to repress the urge to undermine what I’ve been through. But if I were to take one thing away from these past sessions, it’s that our personal experiences are valid enough to stand alone. There’s no need to compare the level of severity to other people’s stories and there’s no need to declare ourselves unworthy of treatment. ...

Let this serve as a reminder that therapy is not something to be ashamed of. It’s courageously empowering to take the first steps toward healing. And whether you have been in therapy in the past, are currently in it, or have simply thought about it, I hope to encourage you to reach out. Text a helpline, connect with a support group, or make that first appointment with a counselor." https://wrt.lv/2Uf2oW4
