Ep. 71 - Are More People Going To Therapy?
Description
In this (almost) 10 minute episode, I investigate the question: are more people going to therapy?
This episode begins with defining the origins of therapy through the centuries, the effect the Coronavirus Pandemic had on mental health, whether more people are going to therapy and reasons why it is on the rise.
This is the third 10 minute episode of a bi-weekly series diving into different topics, in addition to weekly guest episodes.
Enjoy the episode.
