Therapy is expensive but it's helping

Jun 17·1 min read

Finally bit the bullet and started going to therapy after my doctor pushed me on it. First few sessions were rough, felt weird talking to a stranger. But after about 6 weeks I'm actually noticing a difference in how I handle stress and talk to my family. Yeah it's $150 a session and insurance barely covers anything but I think it's worth it. Should've done this years ago instead of just white knuckling everything.

Your doctor was right to push you. I didn't think I needed it either until I started and realized how much stuff I was just white knuckling through.

Props for taking that step. Therapy is one of those things that seems unnecessary until you actually start going and then you wonder why you waited so long.

Co-parenting on my own and therapy has been a game changer for me too. Worth every penny when you start seeing the mental shifts happen. Keep going back.

Man, that first few sessions feeling weird is totally normal. Proud of you for pushing through it, especially after your doc had to give you that nudge. The fact that it's already helping says a lot.

Good on you for doing it. Yeah it's pricey but honestly the ROI on my mental health has been worth every penny. Took me a few sessions to open up too but stick with it.
