Heard of cognitive behavioural therapy? What about EMDR? Or integrative psychotherapy, animal-assisted therapy, couples therapy, attachment therapy…? We get it, it’s a lot.

In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpacks the biggest mistakes people make when starting therapy and how to actually find the kind of support that fits you.

You'll also hear:
If we all need therapy, or whether it depends on the person
What to do when you’re finally ready to talk to someone
How to find a therapist (and a therapy style) that works for you
How to prepare for that first conversation in the therapy room

If you or someone you know needs support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. Both services are available 24/7 for free, confidential mental health support.
