There are some sentences that are not said to you at any dinner with friends, not by your parents, not by your partner, but rather in a quiet room, in a soft armchair, and by a therapist who looks you straight in the eye.
Someone online asked: "What's that one sentence your therapist said that you can't get out of your head to this day?" and the responses were a mix of emotions. In this article, we've collected some of them. Read them carefully - maybe one of them is what you needed to read today.
Note: This article contains the personal opinions and experiences of people from social media and is not a substitute for professional help. If you feel emotionally overwhelmed, don't hesitate to seek help from a licensed therapist. Talking helps. Always.
