Episode 11 – Am I doing therapy right? Ft. Rob Murray | Pt. 1/2

Episode Notes Our mission at TIMT is to demystify what goes on in a therapy session, and to help others on their mental health and healing journey. Thing is, it's not very useful when it's just Tanya and Olivia talking about their respective experiences as a client; diversity is key. So we invited Rob, aka Robo Murray onto the podcast to talk about his foray into seeking therapy. At the time, he just started this part of his healing journey, and we get into things such as: What led him to realise that he needed help Any misconceptions/preconceived notions did he have about therapy How he chose a therapist What his first few sessions were like Rob spoke with immense bravery and throughout his recounting of the experiences that shaped him and licensed therapist Olivia provided both clinical and personal insight on what it feels like to step into the therapist's office for the first time.
