    Whether you’ve been going to therapy for years or are just toying with the idea, we want to meet you where you’re at. In this bonus episode, Nani shares five therapy writing prompts you can use to explore your relationship to therapy and mental health, identify which therapy topics to discuss, and develop healthy coping skills for anxiety and stressful situations. As a follow-up to our previous conversation in episode 159, we hope you take advantage of this opportunity to apply what you learned to your life. Happy reflecting!
