(and a bonus verse because i thought it was funny)
On the thirteenth day of Christmas, my therapist gave to me,
an invoice for the preceding 12 sessions, with a polite request to remit payment upon receipt.
on a real note, and what i always like and want to stress to by readers, therapy is something that should never be labeled as something only for extremely mentally ill people...
therapy is for everyone. it doesn't matter if your condition isn't "that bad" or you aren't "in need of help." everyone deserves to have therapy.
with that being said, since the pandemic, therapists have been inundated with clients that want treatment. so please, don't wait until it's too late. get on the books with a therapist now and try it out once they have an opening. it might be a lot more beneficial than you think!
if you are interested, here is a link to hopefully help you find a therapist in your area:
