Therapy can be worth it

Yesterday I had my first appointment with my new therapist. My first therapist was horrible and made me feel worse about myself somehow. $100 sessions consisted of me talking to myself while she listened and never spoke. This new one has, just within the intake, given me support groups, online resources, set a couple goals, and set the precedent for our upcoming sessions. I was super hesitant to start again, but I’m very glad I did.

Oh.. also these sessions are completely free through my insurance. Basically this is me saying one bad therapist shouldn’t set your standards for therapy and to research further into your coverage to find the cheapest (maybe even free) options.
