Is therapy something you just ‘go along with,’ or do you have a say in shaping your experience? In this episode, we’re diving into the power of self-advocacy in therapy. Can you request a specific approach? What about switching therapists if the fit isn’t right? How do you voice your needs without feeling awkward? Let’s explore how speaking up can transform your therapy journey and help you get the support that truly works for you.
