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.

Therapy is something that has been long overdue for me.

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. Therapy ended up being something I sought out when I had my first panic attack on Christmas that was triggered by my family. And it was then where both my mom and I thought it would be best for me to see external help.

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

Interestingly enough, the reason I provided as my reason to see a therapist was to mend my relationship with my mother. After a couple of sessions of realizing what's truly best for me, I changed my reason for seeking therapy for myself, to be a better person and heal from countless things that happened in my past. That was my a-ha moment, and I started becoming more content with my life as a whole.

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

You don't need to go if some big traumatic thing happened in your life, sometimes seeing a therapist and having an unbiased experienced person listen to you is therapeutic enough. I think everyone can benefit from therapy and learn to heal any wounds we simply think we've let go of.

I wouldn't be where I am without doing the work in therapy

By 
@daniellepillon

I was first introduced to therapy back in 2014 after I was involved in a pretty traumatic car accident that made me fearful of stepping in a car again. I worked with a couple of different practitioners to get me back in the driver's seat, but then realized I had many other issues to work through.

I wrote 70 poems about the experience of losing a daughter.

One of the challenges I faced was getting over the negativity which surrounds the concept of therapy. I saw it in the movies, where one therapist actually has an affair with her client, to speaking to everyday people who often gave me the feeling that therapy was reserved for losers.

It was not an easy path to get here

I made the decision to retry therapy after finding myself overwhelmed with my work and unable to perform as I once had. With the help of my therapist, I discovered that my work environment was unhealthy and that I needed a change if I was to begin feeling better.
