In this episode, host Elizabeth Tiglao-Guss discusses her personal experiences with therapy and mental health, inspired by an interview with comedian and talk show host Trevor Noah. Elizabeth reflects on the stigma surrounding therapy, how it has evolved, and the misconceptions that still exist, particularly in certain cultures and families. She shares her own journey, starting therapy due to a depression diagnosis in college, the ups and downs of finding the right therapist, and how therapy has been an invaluable tool for her through various life challenges, including infertility and menopause. Elizabeth emphasizes that seeking support, whether through therapy, coaching, or talking to a trusted friend, is essential and should not be viewed as a sign of weakness. She encourages listeners to ask themselves what they need and to seek the help they deserve.
