Therapy homework: why therapists give it and how to actually do it
Therapy homework helps you practice new skills in real life. It's not busy work - it's like taking your therapy insights and testing them in the wild. Start small and be honest about what you can actually do.
When to switch therapists (it's okay, seriously)
Switch therapists if you don't feel heard, they seem judgmental, you're not making progress after 6-8 sessions, or your gut says it's not right. You're not stuck with your first choice.
How to find a therapist who gets you
Finding the right therapist is like dating - you need someone who understands your communication style, respects your values, and makes you feel safe being honest. Don't settle for the first one.
Online therapy vs in-person: which one actually works better?
Both work well for most people - online therapy is convenient and accessible, in-person offers more connection. It's like texting vs calling; effectiveness depends more on finding the right therapist than the format.
How much does therapy actually cost (and ways to make it work)?
Therapy ranges from $100-300 per session, but there are sliding scales, insurance options, community centers, and online platforms that make it more accessible than most people think.
What actually happens in your first therapy session?
Your first session is like a first date, but with fewer expectations. Mostly paperwork, getting-to-know-you questions, and figuring out if you vibe with this human who's about to know all your business.
