      I started therapy last year, and it’s been such a transformative experience. At first, I was nervous, but over time, I realized how helpful it is to have a safe space to express my feelings.

      Honestly, I had mixed feelings at the beginning because I didn’t know what to expect. But my therapist has been patient, guiding me through my anxieties one step at a time.

      I’ve learned so much about self-compassion through therapy. It’s helped me be kinder to myself and understand that progress isn’t always linear, which has been such a relief.

      Therapy helped me unpack a lot of the negative self-talk I had. It’s been challenging, but I’ve found ways to replace those thoughts with more supportive ones.

      I was hesitant to start therapy, but it’s been a safe space for me to talk about things I usually keep to myself. Just knowing that someone is listening without judgment has been incredibly comforting.

      For me, therapy has been a journey of discovering how to handle stress better. My therapist has shown me grounding techniques that have helped me a lot when I feel overwhelmed.

      It took me a while to open up, but once I did, therapy became so much easier. My therapist encouraged me to go at my own pace, which made all the difference.

      Starting therapy was scary because I didn’t know if it would actually help, but over time, I’ve learned ways to cope with my anxiety and stress. I wish I had started sooner!

      My therapist helped me realize that it’s okay to ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness but rather a step toward healing, which has made a huge difference in my outlook.

      Sometimes therapy is tough, especially when we dig into deeper issues, but those are also the sessions that bring the most growth. It’s been worth the effort.

      I used to think therapy was just talking about feelings, but it’s also about learning practical skills. My therapist has taught me coping mechanisms that I use daily.

      Therapy helped me accept that it’s okay to feel vulnerable. I’ve learned that there’s strength in acknowledging my feelings rather than hiding them.

      One of the most helpful parts of therapy has been learning to manage my expectations. I used to be really hard on myself, but now I’m learning to be more patient with my progress.

      I didn’t think I’d stick with therapy when I first started, but it’s become an essential part of my self-care. The journey has had its ups and downs, but it’s made me more resilient.
