🧠 Let’s clarify two common misconceptions about mental health:
1️⃣ Myth: “You have to hit rock bottom to go to therapy.”
Fact: Therapy is not only for crisis situations. It can support personal growth, emotional regulation, boundary setting, and processing everyday stress. You don’t need to be in acute distress to benefit from therapeutic support.
2️⃣ Myth: “Seeking therapy means you’re weak.”
Fact: Reaching out for help reflects self-awareness and emotional resilience. Confronting challenges and engaging in self-reflection requires strength, not weakness.
✨ Support is valid and valuable at any stage, not only during periods of crisis.
