Waking at 2 a.m. can feel like your body has slammed the alarm button. Your heart thumps, thoughts speed up, and sleep feels far away. If this is familiar, you are not broken.

Therapy today looks quite different than it did ten years ago. What was once viewed as a private, clinical experience is now becoming more open, accessible, and deeply human. These changes reflect shifts not only in how therapy is delivered, but also in how we understand people, pain, healing, and growth.
