Therapy Myths We Want to Retire!!!!

Myth #2: Therapy is just talking about your childhood.

While your past can be an important part of therapy, therapy isn’t only about endlessly rehashing your childhood. It can be about understanding how your experiences may be affecting you today and learning tools to help you move forward.

Sometimes therapy looks like processing the past. Sometimes it looks like learning how to set boundaries, manage stress, improve relationships, communicate, cope with emotions, or navigate what you’re facing right now.

Today we recognize national overdose awareness day.

In 2024, an estimated 79,384-80,391 overdose deaths occurred in the U.S. (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/releases/20260129.html). While this demonstrated a significant decrease from prior years, that is still around 80,000 individuals. Sons, daughters, parents, spouses, friends.

Today we remember those who have lost their
life due to overdose.
We also acknowledge the importance of awareness and prevention.

Welcome to our series, Therapy Myths We Want to Retire!!!
There are a lot of misconceptions about therapy out there so we want to take some time to cover them and hopefully leave someone with a better understanding of what therapy can be!

Myth #1: you have to be in crisis to start therapy.

You can come to therapy because you want to understand yourself better, work through something that’s been weighing on you, strengthen your relationships, learn healthier coping skills, or simply feel more like yourself again.
