This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Now I don't know about your family, but my family definitely loves to give gifts during the holidays, but we try to really focus on like getting each person like one really special and meaningful thing.

And I feel like this is such a special ritual because you really have to put a lot of

thought and effort into coming up with something that the family member that you're giving a gift to is going to love.

But I don't always take that same time and care when I'm thinking about giving myself a gift or taking time

or doing something special for myself.

But this year one of the greatest gifts that I've given myself has been honestly taking some time to do therapy each week.

Although it's not always easy and pleasant,

I do find that therapy is such a great way to just carve out some time

for myself and to honor what I need.

And therapy might be a great gift for you too. You're probably putting so much

thought into what you're giving others but maybe it's time to think about what you're going to give yourself

this year and if you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient,

flexible, suited to your schedule. You just fill out a brief questionnaire and get matched with the licensed therapist and you can switch any time.

So in the season of giving and give yourself what you need with better help.
