In the final part of this three-part series, Amy, Sara, and Carrie dive into what we thought therapy would be like versus the reality of therapy. We share our experiences dealing with past traumas and how they affect our present reactions. We discuss managing expectations and self-care after a session. We also touch on vulnerability and how it's not  weakness, but rather a courageous way to understand our past experiences. If you're interested in learning more, listen to all three parts of this series.  Ep. 120; March 21, 2023Key Moments:[2:18] Procrastinating going to therapy for years[6:05] Apologizing to your kids[8:34} Carrying around baggage without knowing it[13:52] The story behind the story[18:47] Therapy is not exhausting every timeResources:Parenting: How Your Story Is Affecting Your Relationship With Your Children Part 1 Parenting: How Your Story Is Affecting Your Relationship With Your Children Part 2 The Allender Center PodcastHealing Care MinistriesIf you enjoyed the show:Subscribe to our newsletter on the Take Heart WebsiteGet our free resource on finding Gratitude, Peace, and HopeReview and like us on Apple Podcasts Share us with others from wherever you listen to podcastsFollow us on Instagram @takeheartspecialmomsFind Amy at www.amyjbrown.com/  or on Instagram @amyjbrown_writerFind Carrie at www.carriemholt.com or on Instagram @carriemholtFind Sara at www.saraclime.com or on Instagram @saraclimeSupport the showSupport the show
