A Safe Place to Speak Freely!
BetterHelp has been so effective and helpful in only the first few sessions I've had. I have a very patient and kind therapist who asks me good questions and helps me discover other ways of seeing the world. I'm currently working on the idea of hope as a motivator instead of fear. I look forward to every session, to tell my therapist new ideas I've had and new topics I want to discuss that relate to me and how I view my world. I've never had that opportunity before, to speak so freely. In most of the relationships of my personal life (be they family, friend, or romantic), I've always been more of a listener. I've always been the person who people come to to talk about something, while I instead refrain from talking about my own personal struggles. Therapy has given me the space to be empowered in a way where the conversations we have are about me and my thoughts, desires, dreams, and fears. I cannot begin to describe how liberating that feels, even in just the first month of sessions. I had avoided therapy for so long, because I was afraid that I would be judged or that I would say something wrong. As it turns out, being able to speak so freely is exactly what I needed and exactly what therapy has provided. I can't wait to get deeper into sessions with my therapist, and learn what new things there are to be discovered!
