๐ **Things your therapist might notice before you doโฆ**
You laugh when you're talking about something that actually hurts.
You say โI'm fineโ and then spend the next five minutes explaining why you're definitely not fine.
You apologize before asking for something you genuinely need.
You minimize what you're going through because *โother people have it worse.โ*
You talk about everyone else's feelings before you ever get around to your own.
You say, โI don't know why I'm so upset,โ but your body has been telling the story for weeks.
You keep saying you're โjust tiredโ when what you really are is overwhelmed.
Sometimes, the things we do to get through the day become so automatic that we don't even notice them anymore.
That's part of what therapy can offer: **a space to slow down, notice the patterns, and get curious about what's underneath them.**
You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. โค๏ธ
**What would your therapist probably notice about you first?**
