    Hey friends, welcome back to Behind the Therapy Door hosted by Sarah Thome and Matthew Gallagher. Today we will visit the process of starting therapy, finding a good therapist, and learning to tip toe into the depths of vulnerability. Learning how our defensive behaviors have served as emotional protection can assist us in better self-acceptance, the courage to change unhealthy behaviors, and willingness to stop sabotaging ourselves and our relationships. Though the healing process can be arduous, it is also liberating in gaining valuable insights.
