Does Therapy Work?

You've done the therapy, maybe years of it. You can name every pattern and explain every wound, and a quiet honest part of you keeps asking whether anything has actually changed. The usual answers, "give it time" or "find a better therapist," both keep you where you are. This episode goes underneath them.A great deal of modern help is brilliant at teaching you to cope with your life and almost silent on teaching you to change it, and those are two different journeys, not two speeds of the same one.

Both are free to begin.
