Is therapy really just for people who are "broken"? Can your faith and a therapist coexist? Is one session actually enough?  In this episode of Eden's Table, therapists Leslie, Marian, Angie, and Ivanna sit down to bust the biggest myths and misconceptions about therapy — and they don't hold back.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What actually happens in your first therapy session (the intake process explained)
  • How long therapy really takes — and why there's no one-size-fits-all answer
  • Why therapy isn't a "crutch" and what your role is in the healing process
  • The truth about faith and therapy: do you have to choose between God and a therapist?
  • Why feeling worse after a session might mean it's actually working
  • What couples therapy is really for (hint: you don't have to be in crisis)
  • The difference between your therapist and your best friend
  • How to know when it's time to "shop around" for a new therapist
  • Why seasonal therapy makes sense at different stages of life

Whether you've been curious about therapy, nervous to start, or wondering if it's "working," this episode will give you an honest, warm, and faith-grounded perspective on what therapy really is — and isn't.
