Ever found yourself wondering, "Is therapy really for me?" Or maybe you’ve heard someone dismiss it as "just venting" or "too expensive"? You’re not alone.
Therapy is one of those topics that’s both widely discussed and deeply misunderstood.
In this episode, host Ankit chats with Jai Arora, a practicing counseling psychologist, to break down the stigma and understand what therapy really is. We explore common misconceptions, who therapy is truly for, and why seeking support means you’re brave enough to want better for yourself.
We discuss
- The stigma around therapy and breaking stereotypes.
- What good therapy entails and why it is much more than just a paid vent session.
- How a therapist strikes a balance between validating a client’s experience and holding them accountable.
- Understanding evidence-based approaches and how to evaluate therapy outcomes
- Jai’s practical guide to finding a therapist you click with.
- Jai’s biggest learning about therapy as a therapist.
