Lessons in Therapy

My personal experience and everything I learned in therapy from June to March. Therapy is a process with a person you can trust. As a black woman, I had the privilege of having a black therapist. The benefit of seeing a black therapist is that we can talk about issues that are important to black people. Having someone who gets it makes the experience better. As a result of leaving therapy, I'm in a good place and working toward my life goals.
