We need more support, dialogue and tolerance for mental health. End the stigma.

Instead:
Spend your time prioritising yourself. Keep to your boundaries.
Rock it in self-care.
And remember that you only own explanations to yourself.
The rest, will come. ✨️

It's as simple as that. They lie to protect their "perfect" image.

Therapy is a process. If you think you’ll go for a session or two and ‘be fixed’, you are barking up the wrong tree. Therapy takes dedication. In order to make lasting changes, you put in the work, self evaluate, grow, and become more self aware.

I want to share a guide to what therapy process looks like in general.

Session 1 – Intake – I get to know the client and understand what’s going on in their life (why they are coming in for therapy).

Sessions 2-4 – For the beginning few sessions, I really want to get to know the person sitting in front of me. I teach coping skills during these sessions, but the main goal is to build trust and understand what’s going on from the client’s perspective.

Sessions 4 – onwards – Depending on what you are coming in for, therapy can last anywhere from 8 to 30 sessions. I would say on average, my clients attend 12-15 sessions. After the trust has been established – processing occurs. This is where the true work comes in – a lot of self reflection, discussing the hurtful things in our past, or the fears of our future – identifying what we want and creating a path to get there – whether it be occupational, relational, or just overall well-being.

The importance of journaling.

Doesn't matter if you write full sentences, single words or scribbles.
It doesn't even matter if it all makes sense.

What matters is that you take your thoughts and place them in paper.

Try it. Let me know how it feels for you. 📝♡

Remember:

You don't always have to hold it together.

You don't have to be liked all the time.

You don't have to fix or save people.

You don't have to please everyone.
