Therapy is helping more than I expected

Mar 4·1 min read

Started seeing a therapist a few months ago because of depression and I was really skeptical about the whole thing. Thought I could just white knuckle through it. But honestly it's made a difference. Having someone to talk to who doesn't judge and actually knows what they're doing has helped me understand why I think the way I do. I'm not magically happy but I feel less trapped in my own head. If you're considering it, I'd say just try it.

That skepticism is real but I'm hearing more and more dads say the same thing. Once you get past that initial weird feeling it actually works. Good for you for sticking with it.

Proud of you for sticking with it instead of giving up after a session or two. Mental health stuff is real and getting help shows your kids what strength actually looks like.

Dude, same experience here. I was skeptical too but those first few sessions started changing how I see things. Glad it's working for you because white knuckling just doesn't cut it.

That takes guts to admit. My weekends are packed with tournaments but I've realized I need to take care of my head first or I'm just running on empty with the kids.

What kind of changes have you noticed? Asking because I've been thinking about trying it myself.

So glad to hear this. Therapy gets a bad rap but honestly it's just like going to the gym for your brain. You're doing the work and you're seeing results.
