We're thrilled to bring you this season's longer episode on therapy, with our first ever guest feature! Joined by psychotherapist Oby Bamidele (@obybamidele), we learn about her journey into becoming a therapist, hear her professional perspective on truth vs myths about therapy, how to navigate opening the pandora's box of our unprocessed feelings and what is truly at the heart of self care and self love: knowing your boundaries. Acknowledging how daunting the process of starting therapy is, we also discuss how to find the right therapist for you. Along with opening up about our journeys with therapy, we also want to share some recommended resources for exploring your own therapeutic journey and mental upkeep for anyone who needs it:
