Finding the right therapist can be a tough and the amount of hoops that you have to jump through only makes it worse. It's about navigating through lists, facing fears of judgment, and feeling the emotional toll. It takes courage to seek help, and each step is valid. You're not alone in this journey toward healing and support.
