5 More Signs Therapy May Be the Right Move for you

Welcome back, Sis! Last week we talked about five major signs that it might be time to consider therapy. Since it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, there’s no better time to have these conversations and get real about what you need to thrive. If you’re still wondering if therapy is right for you, here are five more signs to think about.

1. When Shame is Too Heavy to Share
​
We all have things we’re not proud of. But if you’re carrying shame so heavy that you can’t talk about it, even with your closest friends or family, that’s a sign. Therapy provides a safe space to unpack that shame and release it. It’s time to stop letting it hold you back.


2. When Friends and Family Can’t Help
Sometimes, we go to the people we love, and their advice just doesn’t hit right. It’s not that they don’t care; it’s just that they might not have the tools to truly help you. If you’ve tried talking it out and still feel stuck, it’s time to think about therapy. A trained therapist can give you the guidance and support you need.

3. When Life Transitions Feel Overwhelming

College, a new job, motherhood, or even stepping into a new relationship—life changes can shake us up. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the transitions in your life, therapy is a safe space to unpack that and get grounded.

4. When You Struggle with Confidence

Lack of confidence can hold you back in ways you don’t even realize. If you find yourself doubting your abilities, questioning your worth, or holding back in life, therapy can help you build that self-belief brick by brick.

5. When Fear Holds You Back

We all have fears, but when fear is stopping you from living the life you want, it’s time to talk to someone. Therapy can help you untangle those fears so you can move forward with strength and courage.

Final Thoughts: It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to prioritize your well-being. Therapy is a tool that can help you break free from the things that hold you back. If you see yourself in any of these signs, maybe it’s time to take that step. You deserve healing, Sis. You deserve peace. And you don’t have to do it alone.
