Talking to a therapist helps during both lows and highs in life

Lauren Landers Sailing shares that even while living in a beautiful location and pursuing a dream lifestyle, everyone goes through lows. She describes personal experiences of burnout so severe she struggled to make a grocery list, and pre-Pacific-crossing anxiety that was completely debilitating. Talking to a therapist helped her recognise she was doing far too much without adequate rest, something she would never have identified on her own. She also notes that therapy is not only for crisis moments. Reflecting on what makes you thrive during the highs is equally valuable. A strong, healthy mindset and the ability to process experiences are worth building at any stage of life.
