A lot has happened this year, and I like to think it’s because I set an intention for myself. Not a resolution per se, because I never called it that, but I guess those words can be synonymous. My intention this year was to be more decisive. I want to sum up last year with a few words. I learned a lot about myself. And now a lot more words-
I made it a point to do more self reflecting starting last year, finding a therapist and being more intentional about my personal growth. I tried Betterhelp which I cannot say enough terrible things about for the experience I had. With the high-volume monetization of mental health services comes with it an abundance of risk. I found myself paired with someone who simply should not have been my therapist (or maybe not even at all) and had a number of sessions that left me feeling confused, irritated, and hopeless.
