For many, the word “therapy” is a non-starter.
With years of negative connotations behind it, people are afraid to go or tell their loved ones that they’re going.
Another misunderstanding about therapy is the idea that you only go when you’re suffering from some form of mental illness but having a therapist need not be relegated simply to that.
Most people need therapy and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. The world is an emotionally taxing place and we need someone who’s both emotionally and professionally equipped to handle our problem-friends are not our therapist and we should stop treating them as such.
Manuela Mbouma joins me to help remove the stigma from therapy and discuss mental health accessibility.
