The inconvenient truth: your friends are not therapists

Karla Molina explains why venting with your friends does not replace a therapeutic process, and what each one contributes.

Venting to whoever you want is valuable, but it is not the same as a therapeutic process. Your friends listen to you from their own history, their affection and their prejudices; A therapist listens to you from clinical training and without a personal agenda.

In this capsule, Karla Molina explains why support from your inner circle and therapy serve different functions—and why you need both.
