Description
Feeling stuck but unsure how to get help? You're not alone - and this episode is for you. In part two of my powerful conversation with Dr. Sherlonda Adkins, we explore why the journey to getting unstuck shouldn't be a solo endeavor. Learn why it takes most people 10 years to seek professional help, how to find the right therapist (and what to do if your first try isn't a fit), and practical strategies for getting the support you need. Whether you're considering therapy for the first time or looking to rebuild trust after a difficult experience, this episode offers candid insights and actionable guidance for taking that crucial first step. Episode Highlights: Finding the right therapist and why it's like dating How to have an initial conversation with potential therapists The importance of establishing boundaries in therapeutic relationships Why it's never too late to seek help Building a healthy support system Common Questions: How do I know if I need professional help? What should I look for in a therapist? What if my first therapy experience isn't working? How do I communicate with my therapist about concerns? Notable Quotes: "It's never too late to start. I've worked with patients in their seventies, and my biggest heartbreak is for people to leave this earth without experiencing joy—being stuck and not seeing what it could have looked like." - Dr. Adkins "The average length of time that it takes for someone to actually seek professional help is about 10 years." - Dr. Adkins "Before you can actually trust someone, you got to feel comfortable." - Dr. Adkins Resources Mentioned: Dr. Sherlonda Adkins Website: drsherlondaadkins.com Dr. Sherlonda Adkins on LinkedIn Sara's Links and Resources: Join this Fall's Goal Fridays free live series: https://findrc.co/goalfridays Join Sara's Email Newsletter: https://findrc.co/newsletter Email Sara at [email protected] Other Free No-BS OKRs Resources: Access all free resources Thinkydoers (not-just-an OKR podcast) Home Page: https://saralobkovich.com/thinkydoers-pod Find full show notes and the episode transcript via https://findrc.co/thinkydoers !
