Started therapy last month and wow

6d ago·1 min read

Just wanted to say if you're thinking about it, do it. I was super skeptical at first, spent like 3 sessions just complaining about the cost. But my therapist helped me realize I've been putting everything on myself for way too long. I have two kids and a wife and I thought I had to be the rock all the time. Turns out that's not actually how relationships work. Anyway, just sharing in case anyone else needed the push.

Seriously so glad to hear this. I've been telling myself I don't have time but that's probably the excuse talking. Three months in yet or still pretty new?

This is great to hear. More dads need to hear this message. There's no weakness in getting help when you need it. Happy for you man.

I'm thinking about starting myself. What made you finally pull the trigger if you were skeptical? And did you find the right therapist on your first try or did it take a couple?

This is huge. More dads need to see posts like this. The stigma around it is ridiculous when we talk about car maintenance constantly but never mental health.

I'm really glad you posted this. Been thinking about it for months but keep convincing myself I can just handle it myself. How expensive was it and did you find someone locally or online?

Seriously so glad to hear this. I've been on the fence about it for like a year and hearing people actually say it helped is what I needed. How many sessions in before you noticed a real difference?
