Therapy

Therapy is crucial for our mental health, yet some people still look at it as unobtainable due to financial struggle. There are also still myths around Therapy that say you’re weak if you need to go, you’re less of a man if you want to talk about your emotions, and that Therapy is only for “other people who are broken.”

In today’s episode, host Calan Breckon unpacks all you need to know about Therapy with licensed marriage and family Therapist, Jake Myers, who’s also founder and CEO of LGBTQ Therapy Space and writes a regular column for Queerty.com.

Together they explore questions like:

Why is it important LGBTQ+ peoples have access to specialize therapists from the community?
What are some of the old myths about therapy that just aren’t true?
How long does someone usually go to therapy?
Where can someone find funding or support if they don’t have the means right now to cover the costs of Therapy?

By the end of this episode, you’ll have broken down the myths about Therapy and you’ll have the knowledge on how to start (or continue) your own Therapy journey.
