@stephanne221: So time and a place for when therapy is expected to actually make things worse — in the beginning when you first start assessing the full extent of the wound? Yes, this is pretty common and can be expected. Obvs, there are also god awful horror stories with therapists who, rather than help hold and heal the wound, just dump more dirt in it. That is not okay!! This video is more about normalizing how pain often gets bigger before it can get smaller ❤️🩹 #therapytok #LifeAdvice #selfreflection #MentalHealthAwareness #emotionalintelligence
