I’ve found solidarity, validation, and community in listening to other people’s stories, particularly on podcasts. We are all going through our own mental health struggles, many of which may overlap with another’s experience of life. Of course, this is far from true, especially in the midst of a life-altering pandemic. And yet, sometimes this safe bubble feels a little too small-like I’m the only one experiencing what’s happening in my brain and my therapist is the only person who understands me. When I sit across my from my therapist and spill my heart out about everything that’s going on in my life (the good, the bad, and the ugly), I feel seen, heard, and appreciated. For me, talk therapy has been one of the greatest gifts healthcare has had to offer.
