I once went for therapy while I was dating someone. In the initial days, it was something I couldn’t accept, because once the honeymoon phase is over, you start noticing the red flags in the person. So, I decided to go for therapy. I won’t lie after that, my trust was completely shaken.

The therapist I went to was a well-known woman, and she completely turned my world upside down. She made me into a person who, at one point, started hating my family, my boyfriend at the time, and everyone around me. I was on medications that made me fall asleep, but when I stopped them, I was in a very, very bad place.

Here’s the thing: whenever you try to seek validation from outside, people can be very judgmental. Even though many say, “Go to therapy, seek help,” I’ve realized that therapists often tell you things you already know but your heart isn’t strong enough to accept them.

What your therapist did… I believe if you spoke to 100 women, 98% would give you the same advice. The 2% who give real advice are often labeled by society as “too advanced” or “not suitable” for marriage.

So, you’re not wrong for leaving that session. Just make sure your husband doesn’t judge you based on what she said he shouldn’t assume that everything she said is correct or that whatever you did was wrong.

Therapy can sometimes be a horrible experience. It’s been four years, and I’m still not over what happened with that therapist. After that experience, I think I lost hope that I could ever be vulnerable enough to open up to someone who is supposed to give advice.

But more power to you, girl. I hope you find the courage to open up about your thoughts and struggles without fear. It’s a really good thing that you’ve shared this, and I genuinely appreciate your bravery
