Finally started therapy and it's actually helping

4d ago·1 min read

So I was really skeptical about therapy at first. Thought it was just going to be some guy telling me to think positive or whatever. But I found a therapist who actually gets it and we've been working through some stuff about why I always feel like I'm failing everyone. Been going for about 6 weeks now and I'm sleeping better and not snapping at the kids as much. If you're on the fence about it, I'd say just try it. Worst case you waste a few hundred bucks, best case it changes your life.

I was skeptical too before I tried it. Really changed how I handle stress with the kids and work. Sticking with it is the key.

Therapy is kind of like going to the gym for your brain. Takes a few sessions to get into it but once you do it's hard to imagine not going. Glad it's helping.

That's awesome man, glad you found someone who actually gets it. Therapy helped me work through a lot of the co-parenting stuff I was dealing with, and it made me a better dad on both sides of the week.

Real talk, taking that step is huge. I was skeptical too but my therapist has helped me handle stress way better, especially with work and the kids. Proud of you for sticking with it.

This is awesome to hear. A lot of us dads think we're supposed to just handle everything ourselves. Getting help is actually the strongest thing you can do.
