Hey, it's Gemma Spegg from the Psychology of Your 20s.
In a very special episode brought to you by Alliant University,
I ask Dr. Sandra Espinoza, what does therapy actually do?
From the science behind therapeutic change, to how clinicians approach the work,
to why therapy can feel so difficult to access or even stigmatized in some families
and communities, we pull back the curtain on the therapeutic process and explore what meaningful growth.
Actually looks like.
I didn't go to therapy until my mid, late 20s, I think it was almost.
And it was a career that I was pursuing and I was still nervous.
I am a much better wife, daughter, friend, mom, because I'm a therapist.
What makes a good therapist?
We want to hear your story.
I tell my clients, you are the expert in your story and I am going to be a witness to that.
You can listen to this full episode

Mom, can you tell me a story?
Sure.
Once upon a time, a mom needed a new car.
Was she brave?
She was tired, mostly.
