Most people wait a long time before they book a first session. That waiting isn’t weakness. It usually means you’ve been carrying something on your own for a while and trying to handle it the way you always have. The first call is often the heaviest part, and once it’s made, the rest tends to feel lighter than people expect. If you’ve been circling the idea of therapy for months, that’s worth paying attention to. It usually means some part of you already knows it’s time.
