Personal Experiences with Therapy

Participants share their personal journeys with therapy, starting from their early experiences to their introduction to couples therapy. One mentioned attending therapy in middle school, feeling out of place in a wealthy, predominantly white institution, leading to feelings of depression. Another discussed their resistance to therapy, believing they could handle emotional issues alone until moving to New York, where they sought help due to difficulties in interpersonal relationships. This evolution reflects a broader cultural perception of therapy and how it is often viewed as something solely for those with significant trauma.
