My senior year of college I broke my ankle. I was being my normal playful self and slipped while running in the rain.

The experience was intense and genuinely scary, but I was thankful to my friends who rushed me to the hospital.

Throughout the first semester, my leg remained in a cast, making the wait for my bone to heal feel excruciatingly long. However, the real challenge came during the physical therapy process. Several times a week, I diligently engaged in exercises with a professional, aiming to strengthen my muscles and fully recover from the injury.

It struck me how most of us readily seek medical assistance for our bodily pains without much hesitation. But what about the unprocessed emotional pain that some of us carry throughout our lives?

That’s why I wholeheartedly advocate for therapy.

A skilled therapist can serve as a guide, helping you navigate through life’s toughest moments.

Just as we take care of our physical well-being, attending to our emotional health is equally crucial. Seeking professional support can be transformative in facing the challenges that come with being human.
