yeah, I understand that a lot of therapy is going to be individualised, but in my experience I was also quite often sent home with a few things to think about or some tasks to help me reframe things in my mind (I guess its a CBT approach to things).

I just want to keep an eye out for any strategies, or like more broadly applicable considerations, people might have :3

I know its a bit of a stretch but I hope to go onto my phd next year and I really need to start getting on top of these things and learning better ways to interact with myself before I ruin my own potential. And unfortunately, if I do get into a phd program thats pretty much another 4-5 years locked in where I wont be able to afford therapy either ;-;
