Therapy Part 3: Our Therapy Expectations Vs. The Reality


Listen Later

In the final part of this three-part series, Amy, Sara, and Carrie dive into what we thought therapy would be like versus the reality of therapy. We share our experiences dealing with past traumas and how they affect our present reactions. We discuss managing expectations and self-care after a session. We also touch on vulnerability and how it's not  weakness, but rather a courageous way to understand our past experiences. If you're interested in learning more, listen to all three parts of this series.
