S4, Ep 2 Best Friend Therapy: Inside the Therapy Room - How do you find a good therapist? What's involved? How do you become a therapist?

Update: 2023-03-06

Description

This week on Best Friend Therapy, we are responding to the many requests we've received for a conversation about therapy itself: when to seek therapy, how to find a therapist, how to become a therapist, where to start and what to expect.

Emma shares the path she took from selling perfume to private practice and Elizabeth shares some of her experiences as a client in therapy.
