Is Therapy the Right Move For You?
If you’re feeling a bit hesitant about starting therapy, know that you’re not alone. This hesitation is super common and totally understandable. It’s often tangled up with cultural stigmas, all those myths floating around about mental health, or maybe just the jitters about stepping into unknown territory.
Questions like “Will my therapist get me?” or “What if she thinks I’m nuts?” are totally normal. We’ve all been there. But here’s the scoop: therapy is like this amazing journey of self-discovery and healing that will transform almost every aspect of your life.
It’s a chance for melanated women to find that supportive space where they can grow, heal, and build resilience. But, taking that first step? It’s not easy.
Real Testimonials From Our Community
Sometimes, the best push comes from hearing from folks who’ve walked the same path. We’ve got some awesome stories from our community members who dove into therapy and came out with some game-changing experiences.
“I really struggled during the day today working through some parts [that] have shown up during the training. This was the first time all day I felt joyful and really light-hearted. Every time you come on the screen I feel your energy and am comforted. I wanted to share that with you and let you know I appreciate you. Thank you!!”
“Thank you so much Vanessa for your presence, attunement, wisdom, and guidance. You were truly God’s gift to me! ❤️”
Admitting you could use a hand with your mental health feels like a big deal, especially in a world that often shouts ‘tough it out’ louder than ‘it’s okay to ask for help.’
And let’s not even start on the whole idea of spilling your guts to someone you’ve just met – yikes! Plus, the nitty-gritty of finding the right therapist, figuring out the costs, and juggling schedules doesn’t make it any easier.
But here’s the kicker – that first step? It’s brave. It’s bold. It’s you choosing you. And while it’s hard to take that leap, it’s also the start of something pretty amazing.
So yeah, it’s tough, but you? You’re tougher. And that’s the real deal.
