Summary
Mackenzie and Hanna talk to Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Amanda Beck about her own ghosting story, as well as reading ghosting stories from listeners to try and understand why people ghost and why getting ghosted hurts so much!
Amanda Beck is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the states of North and South Carolina. While I am a therapist, it's important to note this is not therapy and nothing shared today should be construed as a substitute for working with a qualified provider. Please check out the show notes for more on how to find a qualified therapist in your area and other resources for supporting your mental health.
To find a therapist:
Go to psychologytoday.com and use their filter system to name what matters most about your therapist.
Amanda recommends choosing three therapists you're interested in and requesting a free 20-minute consultation to see if it's a good fit. Most therapists offer this.
If finances are a hindrance, ask therapists if they have a sliding scale.
For immediate mental health support:
You can reach the National Alliance of Mental Health (NAMI) support line by calling 1-800-950-6264 or texting "helpline" to 62640. If you are experiencing a crisis, call or text 988.
