Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator

Ever catch yourself thinking, "What's the point of therapy? I can't change what already happened"? Or maybe you've minimized your struggles with "My problems aren't that bad - therapy is for people with REAL issues." I am forever answering questions and dispelling myths when it comes to therapy. 2 of the myths I hear a lot are 1 - "Why go to therapy when I can't change the past?" 2 - "My problems are no big deal, therapy is only for BIG things." I'm here to crush BOTH of those myths for you and put them to bed!

Instagram. Podcasts. Google. They're amazing and can be really beneficial. But it's not therapy. It's important to recognize that these resources are great to have, and as a professional I LOVE being able to put out info, share my perspective and connect with you, but it's not exactly the same as a therapeutic relationship and it's important to be aware of that.
