The open letter I nearly didn’t publish (and why this kind of blog works so well)

There are some blogs you sit down and plan, and then there are the ones that keep coming back when you’re trying to switch off.

This episode is about one of those.

It started with something I kept noticing about counsellors, and the more I saw it, the harder it became to ignore. Not just what people were struggling with, but what they were making it mean about themselves… and how much weight that was carrying.

I didn’t set out to write a blog about it. I just found myself wanting to say something to those people.

This is about what happened next, and why I nearly didn’t share it.

🔗 The open letters I mentioned

If you want to see the kind of blogs I’m talking about, these are the ones that came from moments like that:

An open letter to therapists with mental health issues

An open letter to new counsellors and therapists

An open letter to the counsellor who’s finding marketing hard
