āI have a better relationship with food and my body. Now, I mostly donāt avoid food for any reason beyond that itās ultra-processed or I know my body wonāt agree with it. Iām eating 3 meals a day and working out 2 to 4 days per week, and I (and others!) have noticed a positive change in my body.ā ā Sarah Matysiak, engagement editor
āAfter being in weekly therapy for 4.5 years, I recently āgraduatedā to monthly therapy sessions! And Iāve felt grounded and able to hold my own between each session. For a very long time, I felt like I was in survival mode and needed those meetings to help get me through each week. Now, Iām grateful to say each session is more of a matter of mental health maintenance, sharing updates, and working on smaller things than anything else.ā ā Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor
āIāve started eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)! I held off for years, assuming it wouldnāt be any better or different than talk therapy or CBT. But that couldnāt have been farther from the truth. My EMDR therapist really digs deep, bringing out feelings Iād forgotten and making connections I didnāt know I had. Iāve gotten way deeper in two sessions than I have with any other therapist Iāve had (and Iāve had five).ā ā Ren Dias, editor
āI started therapy again! I was turned off by a bad experience years ago and never tried to go again after that. Iām working with a new therapist now, and my first session is in 2 weeks. Iām hoping it will be a more positive experience than the last time.ā ā Sarah Choi, engagement editor
