If you grew up in or before the 90s or early 2000s, chances are you absorbed some strong—but often invisible—beliefs about therapy. Even if you believe in it. Even if you go.

Somewhere along the way, many of us got the idea that therapy is where someone “fixes” us. Or that it’s just a space to dump our pain. Or that if we need therapy, we must be broken.

In this episode, I want to help you reimagine therapy: What it is. What it isn’t. And how it can actually become one of the most powerful tools for changing your life, your relationships, and your sense of self—if you hold it the right way.

Whether you’ve been asked to go to therapy, been going for years, love it, or feel unsure if it’s for you—this conversation is an invitation to reconsider how we use therapy (and any other modality for that matter) to help us live a more present and fulfilling life.
