Becky's been in therapy for three years. She's still in her bedroom.
Her mom said it quietly, carefully, like she was confessing something she wasn't supposed to think.
"The therapy is helping, I think. She's more self-aware. She understands why she feels the way she feels. She just still... doesn't do anything."
I hear this more than almost anything else.
Therapy is real and therapy matters. But therapy and mentoring are solving two different problems. Therapy asks: why do you feel this way? Mentoring asks: how do I get you to wash your hair?
A young adult can have tremendous insight into their anxiety and still be completely paralyzed by it. Understanding the root of something doesn't automatically build the muscle to move past it. That takes something else. A new ritual to begin when you can't move. Small wins. Someone in your corner who isn't analyzing you but is showing you the "Becky" way.

Three years of therapy and she's still in her bedroom. If that line just landed somewhere in your chest... that's exactly where mentoring begins. A free conversation with me is a good place to start.
