Oh hey there Mickey here, before you get stuck into this episode here's an advert for

better help therapy online and just to be clear this is real life Mickey not

Instagram Mickey who mostly looks like she's got it all sorted and is always in great lighting.

I'm here to assure you that is very much not the case in real life for anyone on social media. And yet it is so hard not to compare our reality

with someone's carefully curated social media presence. More photos of people

crying while eating trifle with their hands I say. Or alternatively because I know from

experience that is mad messy making it hard to angle your phone camera. Work on

focusing on what you want rather than what they seem to have.

Comparison is the thief of joy and all that.

But sometimes, given how much we're bombarded by messages and images

of what we're supposed to be wanting and doing, it can be really hard to figure out,

uh, what is it I actually want?

Hello therapy, because I can really help you work that out and start living your life for you, not the gram.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try.

It's entirely online, yes please, which means it couldn't be easier. You just fill out a brief questionnaire

to get matched with a registered therapist than work your sessions around your schedule.

With more than a thousand therapists in the UK already, better help can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide variety of expertise in mental health.
