I’ve been thinking about going back to therapy for a while now. I had many excuses to keep putting it off. I was busy. I was having fun. It can be expensive. Finding a therapist is challenging. The list goes on. There always seemed to be a hurdle.
I had one major incident that happened and as I was sitting there in tears, I pulled out my computer and said this is it. I gotta get back into therapy now. So I called my insurance and asked how many sessions were included for free. They said 10 and also sent me a list of therapist in my area. (Ask for your EAP benefits) I immediately began calling people. I think I called 2-3 people and didn’t hear back after a few days. I got discouraged again. Complained to my friends.
After about 2 weeks I went on psychologytoday.com and looked up more therapist. I reached out to them. The next day, one lady reached out. She called me and we set up a future call for a consultation. That’s usually how my life works. It’s one path for me. One person. One thing. Alignment. I didn’t get calls from anyone else because this is who I’m supposed to be connected to. Lets go on this journey together in hopes this process can help someone else.
If you don’t know where to start, start at insurance. Call the number on the back of your card. Easy peasy. If you don’t have insurance, most therapist offer an out of pocket cost. That just means you will pay 100 percent of the session yourself. If the sessions are too expensive, ask if they offer a sliding scale. ❤️ Here’s to happy healing 🥂
