This episode originally aired in July of 2019. Eyrn and Toshia bring up new findings from mental health research. We then discuss common misconceptions patients have going into their first therapy session and what the first appointment is really like from our clinical perspectives. Of course, we eventually juxtapose therapy with psychiatry.
