  • Summary

  • Feeling stuck but unsure how to get help? You're not alone - and this episode is for you. In part two of my powerful conversation with Dr. Sherlonda Adkins, we explore why the journey to getting unstuck shouldn't be a solo endeavor. Learn why it takes most people 10 years to seek professional help, how to find the right therapist (and what to do if your first try isn't a fit), and practical strategies for getting the support you need. Whether you're considering therapy for the first time or looking to rebuild trust after a difficult experience, this episode offers candid insights and actionable guidance for taking that crucial first step.

    Episode Highlights:

    • Finding the right therapist and why it's like dating
    • How to have an initial conversation with potential therapists
    • The importance of establishing boundaries in therapeutic relationships
    • Why it's never too late to seek help
    • Building a healthy support system

    Common Questions:

    • How do I know if I need professional help?
    • What should I look for in a therapist?
    • What if my first therapy experience isn't working?
    • How do I communicate with my therapist about concerns?

    Notable Quotes:

    "The average length of time that it takes for someone to actually seek professional help is about 10 years." - Dr. Adkins

    "Before you can actually trust someone, you got to feel comfortable." - Dr. Adkins
