Hi all, something has been hitting a nerve and I felt compelled to share here.
A while ago someone I was in a conversation with someone about mental health. I mentioned that I go to therapy. This person asked “What do you go to therapy for?” Like… you shouldn’t ask people this.
There’s actually nothing specific I go to therapy for. I’m a recovering alcoholic with 2 years sober, moved to a new city, just balancing my life out. I have never asked someone why they are in therapy.
So to anyone else going through it, and someone asks “WHY” or “what for” you are not entitled to give them your reasoning, whether it be for something specific or not. 😀
