Sometimes this leads to more frequent meetings and exploration with a therapist, and other times it leads to exploration in other avenues. One common place for exploration? Literature.
Is Therapy For Me?
There are many good reasons to start therapy, personal growth, self-empowerment, learning new skills. But when it comes to making the first appointment, it is not uncommon to second guess your decision.
