Healing isn't a race - it's a marathon with water breaks. ## Why This Matters Understanding this aspect of therapy helps set realistic expectations and reduces anxiety about the process. Remember, therapy is a partnership - you're not broken, you're learning new skills. ## The Real Talk Therapy isn't magic, but it is evidence-based and effective when you find the right fit. Your experience matters, and it's okay to advocate for what you need in this process. **Bottom line**: Therapy burnout is real.
