Shira Fruchter is back for another episode. I thought this was such a fun topic to explore. If you have been listening to this podcast for a while, you know how much I value getting therapy and the right treatment for each individual person. Shira uses the IFS (Internal Family System) model in her counseling. As she has said before on this podcast, she is a purist. This is the modality she likes and she sticks to it.

Shira and I have all these great conversations outside of recording a podcast and this one stood out to us. So we decided to try to pull it apart here on the podcast.

If you do go to therapy, and ironically, if you go for symptoms of anxiety, you may experience anxiety about your therapy session - according to Shira, this is totally normal.

I hope this episode helps normalize this experience for you and also helps you feel more at ease going into a therapy session.
