The purpose of therapy is to learn the tools you need so you can eventually deal with the shit yourself without needing someone to hold your hand through it. The time in between is meant to be used as real-world practice for the stuff you do in sessions. Please don’t treat your therapist as a crutch— that’s a mistake a lot of people make in therapy, and it leads to no real change. (Signed, an experienced client.)

I’ll try and help, I’m not a therapist but I’m currently going to school to be one. So I hope that gives you reassurance. I’ll do my best!
