Healing Trauma (Part 4): Doing Therapy

Ever wondered what it's really like to sit on the therapist's couch? In this episode of The Soul's Work Podcast, Janice Ho opens up about her own journey through the maze of therapy. She gets candid about what pushed her to seek help in the first place and shares her experiences with various therapists. From cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to a more holistic mind-body approach, Janice breaks down the differences and discusses what worked—and what didn't.

But it's not all smooth sailing. Janice also touches on the discomfort and stigma that can come with starting therapy, as well as the privilege involved in accessing mental health care. She doesn’t shy away from the awkward moments or the times when she felt a therapist just wasn't the right fit. This episode isn't just for those already in therapy; it's for anyone who's ever thought about it but felt too scared or uncertain to take the plunge.

Janice offers practical tips on finding a therapist who truly gets you and stresses the importance of a therapist doing their own emotional work. Her reflections serve as a comforting guide for anyone navigating their own healing journey. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that might just make you feel a little less alone.
