Five Reasons to Attend Therapy (as stated by Nedra Glover):

• You won’t hear things like ‘it’s gonna be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it.”
• You get an entire hour to talk about whatever you want guilt-free.
• Saying things out loud helps you understand them in a different way.
• A therapist helps you develop insight and coping skills
• There is no competition in dialogue. A therapist won’t talk about their problems and make those problems bigger than yours.
