Can therapy help me find my best work?

Oh my goodness, in so many ways. I mean, there's a huge component of self knowledge, right? Just knowing yourself, knowing what you want, being able to unpack what it is that drives you. What's yours, what's your parents, what's your peers, what belongs where, what forces have come to shape you. It's a huge journey of introspection to understand what it is that motivates you. I mean, it took me six months of deliberate thoughts just to be able to formulate to myself that maybe these are the sorts of things I'd like to do. So I think it's that. One of the things that therapy does really well is it gives you this space of unconditional positive regard, which is safe. It's a safe haven. And I think you really need that when you're going out exploring and out of your comfort zone and trying new things and changing things, changing career. You need a place of safety where you can come back and regroup and refuel and regain energy and hope.
