We are slowly moving into the direction where mental health support is being seen as something that many people can benefit from, and as something that is being more and more openly talked about - although I believe there is still a long way to go.

Therapy isn’t affordable for everyone and support looks different in almost every country of the world. An additional barrier is asking for help and talking openly about one’s feelings, which is a skill that many of us have had to learn actively in their lives - often even in adulthood. And that’s okay.

No matter where you are in your life, how you feel about yourself, your dreams, your work, your relationship with others - you can benefit from therapy in so many ways. This episode is to encourage you and give you even more strength to reach out, and to reassure you that asking for help and seeking mental health support is an act of self-love and will bring you closer to who you are.
