This is a casual discussion between Beth Capecchi, Ph.D. and Erin Rayburn, LPC, LMFT about what therapy (or counseling) is and how it might be perceived and utilized. Oftentimes, people have differing assumptions and reservations about therapy. Common questions include: Who should get therapy? Is it for times of crisis? Or for maintenance and well being? Is therapy for crazy people or is it a luxury for privileged people? These stereotypes and misconceptions are explored, along with the understandable anxiety and uncertainty that come along with beginning counseling. How does it help? What is it like? How do you find a therapist? Beth shares two of her favorite metaphors for therapy, one of which is comparing to massage and varying ways that it can also be used.
