I've got a lot of experience with therapy. I've spent a lot of time as a client in therapy, I'm a huge advocate for therapy, but I'm also going into the Social Work field and have spent time on the other side of the desk administering therapy to clients in crisis. So there's a lot to say about it. At the end of the day, I think everyone should go to therapy from the time they're in elementary school, and I think it's an invaluable resource that we don't stress enough in our society. But let's be real, it can be a weird experience. And sometimes, when an experience is so weird, we can only rely on Twitter to really capture the feelings behind it.
