Just once it would be nice to find a therapist in the flyover states whose bio, instead of gushing about how they "found their way" here and FELL IN LOVE and knew they'd found their FOREVER HOME… said something like, "Yea, it sucks living here. We get it. But we care about helping people and y'all need alternatives to the "faith based" conservative soccer mom therapists that dominate this geographical area, so we're sticking it out for OUR CLIENTS' sake."

Intergenerational trauma and pain pass through families until someone can acknowledge it and work through it.
