Listeners will find Kristina's emphasis on individualized, voluntary participation in therapy particularly enlightening. She also touches on the power of laughter and authenticity in therapeutic settings and the significance of finding a therapist that truly aligns with your needs.
The episode wraps up with a gentle reminder to seek professional help if you're experiencing a crisis and to always prioritize self-care and seek advice from medical and mental health providers. Tune in for an intimate discussion that not only offers practical advice but also a sense of connection and understanding for anyone navigating their own journey of self-discovery and healing.
