I’ve been to therapists on and off all my adult life. I’ve never felt tired afterwards, or at least never noticed. This time, though? Noticeably tired.

    Mildly?

    My mental health homie, full on coma inducing exhaustion wouldn’t be unusual (well, it’s hyperbolic but you get the point).

    There is very little more taxing than the kind of intensive wringer that a serious therapy session can be. Even less challenging sessions can leave people numb, wiped, or otherwise just burnt out.

    If you’re doing the work, therapy will at some point be stressful. At the very least, needing nap or a cuddle is totally normal
