You know what is actually ridiculously difficult? Trying to find a health professional that actually listens to you (yes, I mentioned this last time). Or, at least, for me. Seriously, it has and continues to suck.
So when I had to find a therapist, I didn't even know where to start. Eventually, I looked in my insurance network and picked one... and she was fantastic! How lucky was I to essentially throw a dart into the void and actually hit the target? A few sessions in, we had just started to scratch the surface when she told me she was pregnant and was leaving to be a full time mom. I was gutted, but obviously happy for her! She recommended another therapist to me, so I called them.
In the beginning, I liked her. However, over time, I began to realize that most of the time it just felt like we were chitchatting and I wasn't actually getting any help from the situation. Still, I was afraid to start over again, so I followed her on to BetterHelp and spent wayyyyy too much to essentially talk politics with a peer. At this point, I couldn't afford to keep seeing her, so I stopped therapy all together for a while...
...Then things got ugly.
I mean, long story short, I found a GREAT therapist who thoroughly worked with me and gave me valuable tools so I could actually take care of myself, but it took a while, ya know?
Besides, don't you want to hear about the ugly part? 👻
