As a nurse, Wendy has seen her fair share of injuries and illnesses. She works late hours, often not leaving herself much time for self-care. But she does her best to stay focused and attentive during work and on her off-hours. The problem is that Wendy’s noticed that her mental health seems to be suffering. When she has time away from the hospital, she feels paralyzed, as though she’s stuck in a loop of sadness and apathy. In her free time, she often wonders if she’s going through depression.
While Wendy doesn’t have much experience with therapy or counseling, she knows that talking with a mental health professional could help her. Plus, avoiding the issues that she’s feeling on the inside hasn’t worked so far. Because of the odd hours that she works as a nurse, Wendy is considering whether or not online therapy could be a way for her to experience relief from.
