Dear listeners,
In this episode of our podcast series, we dive into the importance of therapy and dispelling myths surrounding mental health. Our guests share their experiences with therapy and discuss the benefits of seeking professional help in achieving mental and conscious states necessary to achieve your goals.
We talk about how social media trends do not necessarily have to trend in your life, and the importance of therapy in advocating for tools to tackle life's obstacles. Additionally, we hear from a licensed therapist about their journey and how finding the right therapist is a process that requires diligence.
We also touch on the importance of finding a therapist who understands your needs, and the process of healing being a journey rather than an instant solution. Our guest emphasizes that people should have the will to seek therapy and underscores the critical importance of finding the right fit through an interview process, asking questions, and being transparent with oneself about what works and does not work.
Furthermore, we touch upon how beliefs about therapy and mental health are shaped by external factors and education. Our guests encourage listeners to research resources that are available based on their location, socio-economic status, and ethnicity and advise listeners to ask friends who have been in therapy and recommend a therapist they trust.
Overall, healing is not linear and requires one to manage triggers and responses. Our guests make the case that therapy is not a weakness but a strength to manage emotions and seek help when needed and that ignoring mental health problems can lead to negative behaviors. We encourage you to continue to take care of your mental health and seek help when needed.
We hope this episode was eye-opening and dispelled any myths surrounding therapy and mental health and encourage you to join us for the next episode.
Best regards,
Lide, CEO & Producer
