Psych's 2025 Wrapped 🧠
Some Insights. Thank You for This Year!
Hey reader,
As we get ready to close the year, I wanted to slow down for a moment and look back at everything we’ve built together.
2025 has been… a lot. But it’s also been one of the most meaningful years!
📬 101 Emails Sent
This year, you received 101 psychology-packed emails from me.
If you opened even one of them, thank you for letting my words be a part of your week.
👀 93,100+ Total Reads
Across all issues, we crossed ~93.1K total reads this year.
That’s a small stadium full of readers choosing to learn a little more about their mind. Absolutely wild.
📚 1 Copy of My Book
One of you bought The Psych Handbook this year.
I’m oddly proud of that person. Whoever you are, you’re a legend.
💬 600+ Therapy Queries Handled
FirstTherapy.org crossed one year milestone!
In that time, we’ve handled 600+ therapy requests, questions, and struggles.
If we take the average session cost (~$21), that’s roughly $12,600+ worth of emotional support delivered for free.
This is something I’m genuinely proud of.
Even if one conversation helped someone feel understood, it was worth everything.
Thank you for letting this little psychology newsletter grow into something that feels like a community.
Your support has kept it alive through all its uncertain, chaotic, experimental stages.
I’m deeply grateful.
⛱️ Holiday Break
I’ll be taking a small year-end break to rest, recharge, and spend time away from screens.
We’ll catch early next year with more insights, research translations, and things I hope make your mind feel a little lighter.
💛 Before You Go…
Hit reply and tell me:
How was your year?
What did you learn? What surprised you? What changed you?
I’d truly love to read your story :)
Wishing you warm holidays, gentle days, and a beautiful start to the new year.
See you in 2026 💫
