Let's Start Here: LifeCare Counseling and Coaching

In this second episode in "Therapy Basics" we share some of our personal experiences with therapy and continue to break down some of the basics for those considering or new to therapy. We hope that if you can understand what to expect, it will help remove another barrier to entry for seeking help.

  •  Yolandi shares her first experience with therapy after a bad breakup in her college years. Those six sessions changed her life.
  • Many people think therapy is only something you use as a last resort, but you do not need to wait until your marriage is completely broken to go to therapy.
  • For many people, speaking with a counselor can provide a different relationship or perspective than speaking with friends and family. We talk about that from our personal experiences.
  • Steven shares his first experience with therapy after a four-year relationship ended, and at the time, it felt like the end of the world.
  • We discuss how the scientific basis behind therapy is that when we get to reprocess these things with another person, we physically change pathways in our brain.
