Finding The Right Therapist
- In looking for the right therapist, it is best to locate one through a referral, if your friends are comfortable providing one.
- You can also search the internet, looking for licensed practitioners in your area.
- Take a look at your insurance plans database and see if you find a good one that can also be covered by insurance.
- A good therapist may not have a big online footprint. Shortlist about five therapists and get in touch with them personally.

Word of mouth

Once you have a few names, look up their qualifications and read up about them.

Comparisons With Everyone
The world has gotten smaller due to social media, as everything is instantly visible to all.
A few years ago, we just had our neighbors to compare with and were oblivious of the rest of the world. Now everyone is accessible and comparisons are rife.
The Envy Is Real
We have the smartphones that we carry with us 24/7, always able to catch what other people are up to and feel envious about it.
Even if we use logic and intellect to tell ourselves that the images that we see on social media may not be real or factual, as they can be edited/filtered, they still affect us on an emotional level.
