“I left understanding what had been happening to me.”
I came to Wren after a year of burnout that I kept calling 'just busy.' What I liked about her is she didn't give me a diagnosis on day one. She helped me see the pattern for myself. That felt like mine, not hers.
“We didn't need saving. We needed a translator.”
Eight sessions in, we're still the same two people. But the loop we'd been in for a decade has broken. She didn't take sides, even when we wanted her to.
“I didn't know how much I needed other women.”
The anxiety group was the first time I'd said things out loud and heard other women say 'me too' instead of 'have you tried yoga.' I haven't felt that seen in a very long time.
“She was the first person who didn't try to cheer me up.”
My husband died in 2024. Everyone wanted me to be okay. Wren let me be not-okay for exactly as long as I needed. That alone made everything else possible.
