Do you need a therapist? How do you know if you need a therapist? This episode will help us sort through just that.

Today’s guest is my friend, Topsie Vandenbosch. Topsie is a mental health therapist who specializes in working with career-focused women who struggle with inner confidence. In this episode, she helps us answer some fundamental questions, like What does mental health look like? How common are anxiety and depression? What’s the line between a bad day and a mental health issue that requires professional help?

Because here’s the thing: Mental health is a spectrum, and it manifests itself differently in every person. The key is to know what to look for so we can proactively strive for mental and emotional wellness in our lives.

Listen in as we unpack:

• The most common mental health issues and how they show up in different people
• How to know when it’s time to visit a mental health professional
• What a panic attack looks and feels like, and what to do if you think you’re having one
• What can happen if you avoid processing a traumatic event, and how working with a mental health professional can help
• How to choose the right mental health professional for you
