"I'm crazy and I don't pretend to be anything else." -Rihanna
I will admit that I am a crazy person. I would also like to say that ALL human beings are crazy. And if you're reading this and saying to yourself, "well I don't know what she's talking about because I'm not crazy!" Sorry to break it to you, but you are actually insane and have yet to admit it to yourself. Oh and you have some major, deep seeded childhood issues that you need to recover from through therapy.
You know the guy who stabbed three people on the freeway last week over a case of road rage? Probably could have benefitted from a little one to one therapy to unearth all the resentment and repressed anger that should have emotionally been directed towards his abusive father. You know the woman who years ago rammed her Mercedes Benz into her cheating husband while their teenage daughter sat in the passenger seat? Again, could have benefitted from a little one to one therapy and some hot yoga as well. Poor woman proved that people pleasing and giving up everything for your dishonest husband only leads to two things: death and imminent jail time! (*Remember this story if you're a dude, because every woman has the ability to snap like this in one way or another. #Truth)
So if you're crazy, also known as being human, then Dr. Welch is awesome! I actually put off writing this review for a good year because I adore him so much and didn't want to share. Hey, it's already really hard to get an appointment with him! He's compassionate, thoughtful and it's his life's work to help people. My favorite part of therapy is that you can tell someone your deepest, darkest, ugliest secrets or fears, and they can't tell anyone you know! We all have best friends and family that we can share things with, but therapy is a way to open and unload that emotional lock box in a safe environment. If I didn't hate school so much I think I'd go back and become a therapist myself because that's how much I enjoy the self-discovery process!
And now you're probably wondering, well how is she crazy? Well that's easy, I'm a high achieving super perfectionist introvert who blocks herself with procrastination. Doesn't sound too crazy, but don't worry, I'm completely cuckoo just like you! And I'm willing to admit it for everyone on the Internet to read. See, I'm getting better already! read more
