My Story
I’ve had a variety of therapists throughout my life. Some have been awful (they didn’t last long), and some were “meh.” They helped with whatever I was struggling with at the time, but I didn’t really take therapy seriously. For me, therapy was more like a weekly opportunity to vent about my frustrations and the ways that my life wasn’t working for me. I wasn’t motivated to make changes, so nothing really changed.
And then my life blew up.
I was an emotional mess and needed help. My sister found me a therapist – one I would never have picked for myself (because she could see what I couldn’t see). He was the therapist I really needed, and he changed the way I viewed and participated in therapy. I started journaling and really examined myself and my life. It was really hard but unbelievably rewarding.
Rather than me talking the entire time, we had fascinating back-and-forth conversations where he listened to my thoughts and feelings while asking questions and challenging some of my thoughts and interpretations.
This experience in therapy was life-changing and inspired me to become a therapist.
