Afraid to go to therapy? Here’s what to do.
Have you been procrastinating going to therapy? Maybe you are in a place where you’re struggling: you’re burnt-out, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or all of the above... and you know therapy might help, but you just haven’t taken the leap. It feels hard to take that first step and there are so many fears that arise and rationalizations that make it easier for you to put off.

In this episode, you will learn:
- The negative impacts of avoiding therapy when things are difficult
- How to effectively address the reasons you are probably avoiding therapy so you can feel empowered to take the leap
