Is therapy worth it? Episode 180 with Robb

🎙️Episode 180 of the Self Made Podcast: Is therapy worth it? With Robb! 

You never really know what life is going to throw at you. I have learned this the hard way this year when everything I thought was certain, many of the things I held dear and the person I cared about more than anything else in this world disappeared literally in an instant. 

I was left trying to pick up the pieces of my life with no clarity, confusion, disappointment all while experiencing what I can only describe as grief for the life I wanted but could no longer have. What made this extra hard as this brought up many of the mental roadblocks that have followed me throughout most of my life. 

Feelings of not being enough!

Feelings of people leaving or not fighting to keep me in their life. 

These are all things I have dealt with in therapy a few years back and immediately realised I needed to delve into again this year. While no one myself included could have predicted how this year would turn out I know that without therapy in my life it could have sunk me a lot lower.

Someone else who knows a lot about the process of therapy is my co-host Robb and this is what we come together to discuss in today’s episode. This episode is personal and very raw Robb coming at this from looking back and me right in the middle of looking into the eye of the storm. 

We touch on the stigma around therapy if it is warranted and if it differs between men and woman and why we think this may be. We discuss how therapy is a long game and not a quick fix and how the real benefits could be seen months if not years after we sit down for the session. 

We talk battles with addictions, breaking negative behaviours self awareness, how to reach out and what to do if a mate or family members of yours is struggling. Why saying you are there may not be enough and what we wanted in our darkest moments. 

But I are also aware some of you listening to this may also be struggling! I can truly truly sympathise and this is why we talk what we have learned about finding the right therapist and if you feel you need to reach out to either myself or Robb our instagrams are below and we will 100% listen because together we can get through most things alone the hill becomes steep.
