Therapy 101 (Part 1) is all about what to expect in therapy, especially if this is your first time even considering it! As always, we asked YOU for any questions you might have about starting therapy, and as per usual you guys came through =D

We thought hard and long about each question, and here is the final product!

In this session, we cover:

1. How to know it’s time to go to therapy and who is therapy for?
2. What to expect in your initial session
3. What is therapy actually like?
4. Understanding that therapy is totally healthy and normal
5. How both sides (therapist and client) handle transference?
6. How we help clients open up when there’s nothing to talk about?
7. Do my problems need to be “big” enough to be in therapy?
8. Overcoming trust issues when starting therapy
9. Is there such a thing as therapy not working?
10. How to find a therapist
11. Are there different kinds/styles of therapists/therapy?
12. What do therapists take notes about?

There WILL be a Therapy 101 (Part 2) coming next week!! So keep a lookout for that!

We always welcome feedback and want to hear about your interpretation of the episode! What did you like? What did we miss? What would you like to hear more of?

Starting therapy can feel super intimidating, and we want to help YOU understand what to look for. :)

As always, thank you for being here! We are eternally grateful!
