Part 2: Why Investing in Therapy Really Fucking Matters
Let’s pick up where we left off…. if you missed last week, go back and check it out. Otherwise, here were the 1st three reasons why investing in therapy really matters:
A Premium Therapist Isn't Just a Therapist — They’re a Partner in Your Rebuilding
Insurance Doesn’t Pay for Growth — Only for Illness
Paying a Premium Creates Commitment — and Commitment Creates Change
And if that wasn’t convincing enough to prioritize yourself in 2026… here’s 3 more reasons:
4. A Premium Therapist Has the Capacity You Deserve
Let’s be honest:
You’re an intense, layered, thoughtful person with a complex inner world.
You’re not showing up to therapy to say, “I overthink sometimes.”
You’re showing up because:
you survived something
you’re burnt out
you’re ending or rebuilding a relationship
you’re carrying anxiety that won’t turn off
you’re navigating a childfree path with zero cultural scripts
you’re trying to figure out who the hell you are now
This requires a therapist who:
remembers your story
pays attention to your patterns
tracks your nervous system
understands the layers behind your anxiety
works deeply with trauma and parts
has time to think about your case outside the session
isn’t juggling a caseload of 40+ insurance clients
Premium therapy means your therapist has capacity.
Emotional bandwidth.
Time.
Presence.
Training.
Energy.
You’re not squeezed in between 9 back-to-back sessions.
You’re not an insurance code.
You’re a human rebuilding her life.
5. Therapy Isn’t Expensive — Avoiding Yourself Is
Let’s talk about what “not going to therapy” actually costs:
years of staying stuck
dating the same type of person
burnout that turns into real health consequences
anxiety that becomes your default setting
unresolved trauma shaping every relationship
a life that feels too small or too overwhelming
losing time you can never get back
cycles you swore you’d break
letting fear run your choices
Therapy isn’t expensive.
Avoidance is.
Avoidance costs:
joy
clarity
time
energy
your own self-respect
your future
Therapy is not the cost.
Therapy is the shortcut.
6. You Deserve the Therapist Who Gets You — Not the One Insurance Offers You
You deserve a therapist who understands:
childfree identity
anxious, high-responsibility women
trauma
burnout
perfectionism
rebuilding after life turns upside down
the emotional landscape of being in your 30s or 40s without kids
the unique pressures you carry
Insurance gives you whoever is available.
Premium therapy lets you choose someone who feels like a good fit.
A therapist who reflects your world, your goals, your values, and your emotional reality.
Someone who says:
“I get you. Let’s rebuild this together.”

As we wrap up this year and get ready to head into 2026… spend some time thinking about how you can invest in yourself. Even if Premium Therapy isn’t in the cards for you right now (I get it, everything is expensive AND the damn holidays are here), but think about how:
Investing in Yourself Is the Boldest Fuck-Yes You Can Give Your Life
Women — especially childfree women — are conditioned to believe they should take up less:
less time
less energy
less emotional space
less need
less support
Enough.
You’ve done enough alone.
Investing in therapy is you saying:
“I’m done surviving. I’m ready to grow.”
Not someday.
Not when things get worse.
Not when you’re drowning.
Now.
You’re allowed to invest in a therapist who matches your depth, your complexity, and your desire to rebuild.
You’re allowed to pay for a space that actually supports you.
You’re allowed to want care that is exceptional — not just covered.
so, for 2026… think about the life you want to be living.
Therapy isn’t a bill.
It’s a foundation.
A reclamation.
A rebuilding.
A fucking revolution in how you treat yourself.
Because you are worthy of care that matches the life you want — not the life you’re trying to escape.
