We get it—you probably did a double take after reading the title. You're thinking, 'Therapy as a date? Really?' And yes, we know—a date typically involves another person... duh.
Of course, the typical, involves another person—dinner, a movie, maybe some type of activity, followed by a lingering kiss or hug that leaves you with a smile and your phone glued to your hand, waiting for that goodnight text or call. Soooo romantic….right?
Today, we’re introducing a different kind of date—one that’s all about you. When most people think of a self-care date, they imagine a massage, a manicure and pedicure, a fine dining experience, or even a road trip. But today, we challenge you to think outside the box and engage in a form of self-care that requires you to dig deeper and face what you might be avoiding.
Take a moment to scratch below the surface and get to know the real you—the reasons behind your decisions, who you are at your core, and why you function the way you do.
This journey takes time, so it’s important to choose wisely. Don’t just settle for anyone—take the time to find a therapist who resonates with you and truly understands your needs. Researching and connecting with the right professional can help you unravel and understand yourself more deeply.
Worried about your budget? If your employer doesn’t offer support, there are platforms that allow you to pay based on your income. Below, you’ll find two reliable resources that are easy to navigate, offering a range of therapists from near and far.
Where to start? Glad you asked! Begin your search today by checking out BetterHelp.com and GrowTherapy.com. Take the process seriously and carefully vet the therapist before committing—you want to ensure you're getting the most out of the experience. The ultimate goal is to learn, and perhaps even unlearn, the things that may have been holding you back in life.
And to those who think, 'There’s nothing wrong with me; my life is perfect,' remember there’s always room for growth. We encourage you to still consider therapy—you never know what you might discover about yourself until it’s presented to you."
