    Therapy takes a while.

    It isn’t an instant win. But you will see their bottle that is specifically catered to you will become bigger.

      Sometimes it’s a never-win, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go if you need it and are able to afford it.

      There’s no therapist on the planet that can help me ‘fix’ myself completely, far too many decades of trauma and paying attention to what’s going on around me, but they do help me maintain and cope. Worth it.

        able to afford it.

        The financial gatekeeping of basic necessities is a big reason why many of us are in the position to need therapy in the first place. I wouldn’t trade my therapist for the world but the fact that there’s even a qualifier really speaks to the whole systemic vs individual debate.
