Minidose 15 Should I be in therapy? TLDR: Maybe not
Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. In this episode, I’m diving into why therapy might not be for everyone and how to figure out if it’s truly the right move for you.
We’ll go over the upsides and the downsides of therapy, and I’ll walk you through a few questions to help you decide if you’re ready. Maybe you’re already in therapy and wondering if it’s time for a break, or questioning if you're being challenged enough in session. This one’s for you too.
If you’re not sure about therapy right now, we’ll talk about other ways to work on yourself that might actually be a better fit—think books, journaling, meditation, and just taking time for curious self-reflection. Therapy is amazing for some, but it’s not the only option.
In This Episode, We’ll Cover:
Are You Ready for Therapy? How to tell if you’re really ready to dig into things, try new solutions, and get to know yourself on a deeper level.
Alternative Paths to Self-Discovery: Ideas for self-reflection, journaling, meditation, and more if therapy doesn’t feel like your thing right now.
Support vs. Self-Work Therapy: There’s no shame in wanting a safe space to vent, but that’s a different kind of therapy.
Beware of Online Therapy Platforms: Some issues with online therapy apps, from training gaps to sketchy quality control.
Getting More from Therapy: How to get better results by setting goals and encouraging your therapist to challenge you.
So, if you’re on the fence about therapy or wondering if you’re getting what you need from it, this episode is all about figuring out what works best for you! Listen in and then let me know your thoughts over on Instagram.
