What to Expect When You Go To Therapy (My Therapy Experience)

As I’m sure you gathered from the title, we’re gonna be talking about therapy today. I'm getting personal and sharing with you what my personal experience going to therapy has been like.

I'm diving into:
⋒ My family history with therapy
⋒ My therapy journey as an adult
⋒ Your questions about therapy

It honestly blows me away how many DMs I get on Instagram from people seeking advice on therapy. I didn’t realize there were so many people who felt a little bit lost when it comes to starting a therapy journey and while I’m no mental health professional, I’m more than happy to share my experience if it helps people to kind of find their way in getting the support they need for their mental health.


Instead of writing everything out, I decided to record a podcast episode for you talking about my therapy experience and answering the questions you sent in about therapy:

~ How do you know you should go to therapy? What was your reason for starting therapy and what benefits do you experience?

~ How did you find your therapist?

~ Did you look for a therapist who focused on anxiety?

~ What did your first session look like? What details did you lay out for them?

~ What are therapy sessions like? How do you know what to focus on?

~ What is the number of chances you would give to a therapist before moving on to find someone else, vibe-wise? How many times did you meet with your therapist before you felt like it was a good fit? How did you know your therapist was the right fit for you?

~ Does insurance cover therapy?

~ Do you use teletherapy/do you believe it’s as beneficial as in-person therapy?

~ Tips if you’re scared to start searching for a therapist?
