Why Talking Feels So Powerful
Putting your thoughts into words activates parts of the brain that regulate emotion. It’s called “affect labeling,” and it helps reduce emotional intensity.
Validation Builds Safety
Being truly heard-without interruption or judgment-creates psychological safety. It tells your nervous system that you're safe, accepted, and not alone.
Therapy Isn’t Just Talking
It’s guided reflection. A skilled therapist helps you connect the dots, challenge unhelpful patterns, and explore new ways of thinking.
