In this episode, Sarah and Emily bust common myths about therapy. They discuss the misconception that you have to be struggling to go to therapy, the idea that therapy leads to major insights every session, and the belief that something is wrong if progress in therapy isn't happening quickly. They also address the myth that therapy is just talking or receiving advice from your therapist, the misconception that you're not allowed to give feedback to your therapist, and the idea that you're not allowed to ask your therapist questions about themselves. Finally, they debunk the myth that therapists have it all together.

Takeaways

  • Therapy is not just for people who are struggling; it can benefit anyone, regardless of their specific issues or goals.

  • Progress in therapy is a gradual process and major insights may not happen in every session.

  • Therapy is a collaborative process, and therapists are there to support and guide clients, not just give advice.

  • Clients are encouraged to provide feedback to their therapists and ask questions about their therapist's background or experience.

  • Therapists are human too and have their own struggles.
