In this episode, we dive into one of the most common questions people ask about therapy: "Can My Therapist Fix Me?" We explore the idea of being "fixed" in therapy and unpack the unrealistic expectations many of us bring into the process including timelines and what certain milestones may look like. Ryan shares insights on the journey of healing, explaining why progress isn't always linear and how therapy is about more than just reaching an end goal. Meanwhile, Jess reflects on her own experiences as a therapist discussing the emotional highs and lows of seeking help and learning to be patient with the process.
