Day 467 || how i got my therapist

Everyone talks about how important it is to have a therapist, but nobody talks about how to get one!

Be open minded, be vulnerable, be patient, call around, and don’t be afraid to trial and error, either way! It's worth the time and energy on the backend to garner a resource that can help keep ya healthy!
