It doesn't mean we can't dive deep, but the Django with the questions is such a good one because it's a good mix of lighthearted ones, like who's your favorite celebrity, what's your favorite song, favorite band. and then it kind of, there's some ones in there where it's like, what does love mean to you? What does friendship mean to you? Therapy not only gives you insight into, or can give you insight into why you do the things you do, but it helps gives you tools that you'll be able to take with you through the rest of your childhood, your teenage years, and as you grow into being a fully fledged and formed adult, you know, and that will pay off dividends with potentially your future family.
