Therapy & Counseling
It took me a long time to finally go to therapy. And if you haven’t gone yet, you’re probably still thinking about it and dragging it out. I get it—I’ve been there. You might procrastinate, make excuses, or even dislike your first therapist (I didn’t love mine either). That’s okay. Keep trying. Therapy really does help.
For me, online therapy worked best, and I’ve tried a few platforms. Prices may vary, so always check their websites:
Self-Care & Tips
You don’t have to overthink self-care. Here are some simple things you can start today:
Wear Your Support
Most of our products are designed to spark conversations and remind you that it’s okay to prioritize your mental health. Our “Sorry I’m not staring… just dissociating” tee, for example, empowers, normalizes, and inspires awareness—without ever shaming. And because humor is a coping mechanism, why not embrace it and make it look good?
PS: Can you tell I low-key wanted to hypnotize whoever sees the shirt into joining the dissociation with that little eye swirl in the middle? No? Move along then…
