It’s great but expensive af and unrealistic for many people.

I’ve been in therapy for almost 2 months. It’s been going okay.

Not for me.

I've tried therapy in the past. I'm currently under the perinatal mental health team. Who are helping me with stress and bonding

Eh I don’t think traditional talk therapy is for me. I’m hyper aware of myself cause of past trauma so I can talk the therapist into thinking I’m fine. Or just enough to get some level of care.

@Cecilia-Jean I think therapy is for everyone.

@Samantha Mull yes, if you have private insurance there can be high co-pays. It comes down to the insurance you have and if someone is uninsured it is extremely expensive. This is a whole other topic and raises issues on our health care system🇺🇸 and how we view mental health.

@Helen that's great. ♥️

@Khyia it comes down to finding the right fit and being completely honest, open and vulnerable to show your true self. My therapist knows me, I don't hold back. It's liberating.

There is a shortage of therapists. If literally everyone tried to access therapy, there would be even more difficulty accessing it for the people that need it most

CBT worked great for me for body dysmorphia and eating disorder

I need a new therapist lol 😂

@Violeta💕 yea I have been they aren’t helpful. Talk therapy just isn’t for everyone. Talking about my issues does help fix them. I know WHAT the oroblrm is. How do I over come it. And not all therapists can help with that.

I’ve tried multiple therapists/different therapies over the years. The only one I found to be helpful was grief counselling.

@Claire That's the beauty of therapy.

@Brittany currently undergoing CBT.

@Cecilia-Jean true, we also need to de-stigmatize it.

@Violeta💕 hope it works out for you! 🤞🏻

@Cecilia-Jean true.

@Brittany thanks girl. I'm learning, little by little. 😺

Everyone should go to therapy

@SquishyMommy1 agreed

I’m all for it IF you find the right therapist. They’re not all good or right for every person.

I need therapy but I don’t have time. I was referred to one that’s like over an hour from my house by my doctor and never went cause it’s so far. Plus I have 2 under 2 and about to have another one.

@Justice check to see if there is a telehealth option , that means virtual either over the phone or video call. Don't give up!

@Katrina there is a lot of trial and error, you might not get the right fit the first time.
