Tell us about your mental health journey

I have been in therapy for decades and had never found a therapist who seemed to really "get me". First Session allowed me to get a preview of the different therapists and their modalities and pick someone I felt was more on my page.

What is one thing you wish more people knew about therapy?

I wish people knew how empowering it can be.

I just kept thinking "what's the point"

I just kept thinking "what's the point" and my therapist helped me dig deeper into that thought and helped me see that I get to decide what The Point actually is. She motivated me to start working out again and it's been huge for my mental health.

Why am I not ever genuinely happy?
