It's no secret that I am a big believer in therapy. Maybe it's because I live in a more liberal state where everyone seems to have a therapist, but I know not everyone is open to discussing their innermost feelings with a stranger. That's the line I hear a lot anyway. "Therapy isn't for me" or "it won't work." Are you sure? You'll never know unless you try.
In thinking of topics for this series, one idea kept coming to mind - lessons I've learned in therapy. It's so many years to finally figure some of these out, but I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to share some with you. At the risk of sounding self-righteous or preachy, just know that these are ideals, and I work on each of them every single day.
