Episode 370: Why You Should Be Afraid of Therapy

Sherry explores the reasons why one might hesitate to embrace therapy. Many individuals harbor reservations or anxieties about delving into substantial personal development efforts. This reluctance may stem from the realization that as we evolve, our entire world undergoes transformation, necessitating a readiness for change. Therapy, albeit beneficial, can evoke trepidation. Opening up and revealing the most intimate aspects of one's thoughts and life can be daunting. Yet, there's an additional, somewhat humorous, reason to be wary of therapy—what if it actually works? Sherry sheds light on the potential upheaval and disruptions that can accompany successful therapy and change, providing insights into various possibilities and outcomes for listeners to consider.
