Therapy can feel like a mystery, especially with so many myths floating around. Let’s take a moment to break down some of the common misconceptions and bring a little more clarity and understanding to the process. IG: @drdespinabolanis https://t.co/3hiuF11mPW

What was the biggest struggle during your PhD and how did you overcome it?

[Despina Bolanis, Ph.D. @despinaa]

@Meltomasiello meli I 11/10 recommend. Seriously eye-opening!

My family’s message was loud and clear this holiday season😅 I strongly recommend this book! Easy read with a 30-day guide to help you set healthier boundaries with your devices. I’m at day 3 and noticing how consumed I am by my phone. Can’t wait to see the results (if any)
