What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Tell us about your mental health journey

I had been laid off after only 3 months in a new role and it really affected my confidence. The feeling started to seep into other areas of my life, especially with my partner.

What did you learn in therapy and how did it help you?

I just kept thinking "what's the point" and my therapist helped me dig deeper into that thought and helped me see that I get to decide what The Point actually is. She motivated me to start working out again and it's been huge for my mental health.

What is one thing you wish more people knew about therapy?

That you can be very direct with your therapist and tell them what you need, if you want to move on from a topic, if you don't like something they said. You can be more selfish than you would be in a conversation with a friend or family member.

Find the right therapist for you.

Therapy is something that has been long overdue for me. I think a way I would self-cope with anything happening to me is try to listen and help others so it would temporarily distract myself from my own issues.

I felt like I wasn't worth anything as a person

By

I came to therapy because I felt like I wasn't worth anything as a person. I felt like no matter what, I was doomed to repeat the mistakes I'd seen in my life and the lives of others. I felt trapped into this terrible concept of who I was and what that meant for everything I wanted to accomplish. I used First Session to find my therapist, we set up an initial call and started meeting every two weeks.

I didn’t even know therapy was an option for me

Rosa P.

Growing up in an immigrant family, I had to hustle, work hard and power through every day. Some of these became valued qualities that became part of my identity. I prided myself on having a solid work...
