Description
Welcome!
Many people have serious difficulties to normalize therapy because of the negative societal stigmas. They may feel that the people arounde them (e.g., friends, family, loved ones) just don't understand them, yet they feel they have nowhere to turn.
It is important to keep in mind that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Many people are scared to address their mental health concerns because they cannot be seen. If you are feeling physically ill, you go to a physician to find the cause and take medication. On the other hand, if you are dealing with a mental health challenge, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional. However, this lack of understanding regarding mental health issues often leads to stigmas on therapy. People are fearful of therapy because of misleading media representations.
