“I’ll take 1 Therapy, pls”

It’s 2022 and if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s, “Joe Biden ain’t it!”

And if there’s a second thing we can all agree on it’s, “therapy is good for everyone!”

If you’re anything like me (inexcusably sexy and relentlessly charming), you were raised under the belief that your happiness came from “getting over it”, getting spanked, and having a closer relationship with God. Mental health wasn’t a thing. We just called that sin. And you know what being sinful gets you?

Hell: The City of Homes on Fire

(surely there’s a funnier joke that that ^, come back later and see if I’ve upgraded the joke.)

But as all things tend to do, that thought process has evolved (confirming evolution– Atheist 1, Christians 0) and now we can all agree that therapy is helpful. Something about a global pandemic helping scoot that thought process along or something…

I’ll go first: Hi, my name is Harold. And I see a therapist.

::CROWD BOOS AND THROWS RIPE TOMATOES THAT WILL BE USED FOR SALAD SO HAROLD CAN KEEP HIS FIGURE::

I was like all of you, a non-believerpist. I thought they were all out for money or to push the new pharm drug or trick me into admitting I may have any flaws. But as it turns out, some of them (SOME), are actually good people who have found a career they love that lets them help people. And I think we should reward them for that (by giving them our money, trying out new pharm drugs, and admitting at least 1 flaw).

But if you’re new to the idea and need some direction, that’s what I’m here for. Consider me Therapist Prep. Or Therapy Foreplay. Yes, I am the touching, kissing, and licking before you get to therapy…

The first step is also the hardest step (aside from admitting you need to see a therapist), FINDING A GOOD THERAPIST! Lucky for you, I’ve found the 5 Best Therapist in Coweta County:

#5 – Not Your Pastor

Let’s be clear here, your pastor is who you were already thinking about and your pastor is ready for you to leave him (or her! It’s 2022! I think there’s 1 female pastor in the South, now) alone!

Your pastor is not qualified to be a therapist. Oh, he’s got a degree from Sam Adams Bible Camp & Brewery? Impressive. I’m sure he can find Leviticus in under 10-seconds while using his free hand to slap some hops into a Rebel IPA brewstation, but that doesn’t mean he has any idea what PTSD is.

“Pray about it” is only an acceptable answer to “what should we do before eating these peas?”

A pastor has a lot of great things to offer, but therapy ain’t it.

#4 – Flourish 2 Live

Owned by Louis Boynton, a Psychotherapist/Community Health Psychologist, this office always smells fantastic. And that’s half the battle of fighting depression.

Lemme just smell something good, world! Please!

Louis doesn’t take himself too seriously, encourage prescriptions, or try and get you in for more appointments than you’re ready for. He truly leads his office as a place to help–and did I mention it smells just so good?

The only problem? You have to visit potentially the ugliest website ever to make an appointment.

#3 – Harold

If this website isn’t helping, you might be unhelpable.

Send me an email, though. We can hang.

# 2 – The City of Newnan

I take your hand and lead you down memory lane for just a moment:

The City of Newnan rebranded. The old logo was replaced with a vibrant new logo that resembled a lighthouse, the color scheme became blue (maybe purple? I’m colorblind), and the City of Homes was replaced with three random “inspiring” words.

But alas came the OOF! Community. Serving. And OOF

The rebranding went over so bad that you can’t find photo evidence that The City of Newnan ever attempted to come up with a new slogan!

And while the lighthouse and color scheme remain, the criticizing Facebook comments are also a-plenty on their Facebook page.

But if we take a deeper look into the rebranding effort, we see that The City of Newnan Government was brave enough to do something we are too afraid of: change!

Does a lighthouse make sense in Newnan? No! Not at all!

But does spending everyday doing the exact same job, flicking through the same TikTok, hanging out with the same friends, drinking the same wine, and kissing that same grody husband make ANY sense? NO!

Newnan’s Government said “hey, we need to look at ourselves and make a change, even if it’s the wrong one, we need to try!” and they went for it!

We wake up and say “today is gonna suck, but whatever… city of homes, at least.”

If anything, we need to find our inner-lighthouse and let it lead us to change!

Thank you, City of Newnan Government! I knew we could trust the government! I knew it all along!

#1 – Your Pastor

Turns out we were wrong about that one. Pastors make for great therapist and everything the Bible says is true.

:checks my Heaven meter to see if I’m closer to getting in:

OK, we’re good!
