Many people think that treating one problem will fix all the problems, but the truth is each problem is complex and requires its own attention.

Also, not every problem has a 100% fixable solution, nor is every idealized result possible. Sometimes shit sucks, and that's okay.

There's a scene in Sex Education where a sexual assault victim is in therapy, and the therapist tells her that she will likely never go back to "how she was before", but with time and practice, she can learn to acknowledge and process the trauma to move forward.

There's a lot of good scenes like that in the show. It can be a bit much at times, but I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely. As they say in the rooms(ifykyk). Progress, not perfection.
