May was Mental Health Awareness Month, so I'm talking about one thing that's helped me so, so much throughout my recovery from trauma: therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. A lot of us learned to believe that going to therapy is a sign of weakness. If we ask for help, it means there's something wrong with us. Here's the truth. Its incredibly difficult to ask for help, to admit when something might not be quite right within ourselves. It takes strength and bravery to face our inner demons. There is no shame in going to therapy.
I'm sharing some of my experiences with therapy including finding the right therapist, ways we can work to not feel ashamed of asking for help, and the many benefits I've experienced since prioritizing talk therapy.
I see you. You are loved. We are in this together. 💛
