Listen Friends...
I go to THERAPY.
I started going to therapy, and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I decided to record this episode for you because I am usually open about therapy, but there are a handful of people who have made me feel ashamed. Every once in awhile the shame comes over me, and I get nervous how others might respond.
Therapy is BAD
That is what I have been told most my life growing up in the church I went to, but the truth is, it has been the best thing for me, and for so many other women I have talked to. Maybe this episode is not for you, but maybe it is exactly what you need to hear because you have been told therapy is a terrible place to go. I personally have struggled with postpartum depression after both of my babies to the point I had to go to therapy due to the condition I was in, and I have now gone consistently for a year after everything happened with my daughter, Emery.
Not sure if therapy is for you??
I have had an ok therapist, and I now have one I LOVE!! It is so worth going so you can take the time to see if you will be compatible. You don't know until you meet each other. They are there to help give you the tools to work on the areas you might be struggling with in your life.
If you can't afford therapy look into community resources. There are a lot of mental health resources to help you or someone you know. It is worth asking and seeing what is available to you.
