What People Don't Say About Therapy
It's funny how often we, as therapists, hear some version of, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this before?” or “I wish I’d known about therapy years ago.” The world outside the four walls of a therapy room often paints a different picture of what therapy is and what it isn’t. Here's what they don’t tell you:

Therapy isn’t just for ‘crazy’ people. That’s a myth, a stereotype that does more harm than good. People from all walks of life seek therapy. From CEOs to students, from artists to engineers, anyone can benefit from it.

Therapy is hard work. It's not just an hour-long chat. It requires introspection, challenging old patterns, and facing emotions you might have been avoiding.

Sometimes, it gets worse before it gets better. Unpacking traumas or delving into deep-seated issues can stir up a lot of emotions. But that’s part of the healing process.

Therapists aren’t there to judge. The last thing we want to do is judge or criticize. Our role is to listen, understand, and guide. Your story, with all its intricacies, is safe with us.

There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach. Every person is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. The process is tailored to fit each individual.

Progress isn’t linear. There will be ups and downs. Days when you feel you've taken two steps back. But that's okay; healing isn’t a straight path.

Therapists don’t have all the answers. We might have expertise, tools, and experience, but we’re not omniscient. You are the expert on your own life. Our role is to help you find your own insights and answers.

It’s okay to feel vulnerable. In fact, vulnerability is often the gateway to deeper understanding and healing. It's okay to let your guard down.

Therapy doesn't mean you're weak. Seeking help is a sign of strength. Recognizing that you need support and reaching out for it is commendable.

You might not click with the first therapist you meet. And that's okay. It's essential to find someone you feel comfortable with, someone you can trust.


The reality is that therapy is more than what is portrayed in movies or what is whispered about in hushed tones. It's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. Embracing it is a choice to live a fuller, more introspective life.
