🎙️ Episode 43: How Therapy Helped Me Face What Gaming Was Hiding
🦁 Hey Lions, ever felt trapped in your own escape?
What if the thing that numbs your stress is also what’s holding you back?
In this raw and honest episode of the HowToHeartShow, I open up about my personal journey through therapy—and how I overcame a long-standing addiction to video games. I share what led me to seek help, how gaming impacted my mental health, and how I began rebuilding my focus, energy, and self-respect.
We explore the fear of asking for help, time management, and the importance of making informed choices around mental health and medication. If you’ve ever used distractions to avoid real life—this episode is for you.
💭 Feeling overwhelmed and stuck in loops you can’t break?
💭 Wondering if therapy could help, but not sure where to start?
🌟 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How video game addiction became a silent trap in my life
Why therapy was the turning point
Tools I used to manage my time and energy
How to seek help without shame
Why you need to question — not fear — mental health treatment
