And, of course, venting is helpful.

This is not to say to bottle it all up, not at all.

That wouldnt be healthy to keep it all inside.

But once youre done feeling, you should probably start healing.

Its recognizing a toxic person and having a plan in place that will help you walk away safely.

Its strategizing ways to overcome the incredibly overwhelming feelings that come with depression.

So, yes, therapy does involve talking.

It does involve your feelings, and sometimeslotsof them.

But mostly its about changing.

Changing your thinking, behaviors, mindsets, and relationships,ultimately changing your life.
