Being the first in your family to go to therapy can feel heavy.
You might be untangling years of silence,
navigating guilt that isn’t yours, or learning how to name emotions that were never talked about.
You are not broken, you are just doing something new. And sometimes, doing something new in a family that’s built on survival can feel like betrayal; when really, it’s love and care. It’s a different way of honoring where you come from.
If you’re the first in your family to choose therapy, you’re not alone.
This is brave work.
Quiet, powerful, and healing work.
✨ And it matters.
