Therapy CAN be great if you can find someone:

1. You trust

2. Has real experience and training in the problem you’re experiencing

3. Takes the time to understand all the aspects of who you are

4. Is affordable and sustainable over the long term

But most people don’t get that type of therapy. These Instagram ads tend to WAY overpromise what therapy can actually deliver.
