✨Fun Fact Friday - Therapy myth vs fact ✨
Myth: Therapy is only for people in crisis.
Fact: Therapy is for everyone. It’s a space for growth, self-discovery, and building resilience before challenges overwhelm you. Many people start therapy during times of transition—like a career change, parenting, or simply wanting to understand themselves better.
Myth: Depression is just “feeling sad.”
Fact: Depression is a whole-body condition. It can show up through fatigue, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, irritability, or a sense of emptiness. It’s not a weakness—it’s a valid health condition that deserves care.
Myth: Talking about your struggles makes you weak.
Fact: It actually takes strength to be vulnerable. Naming what you’re experiencing reduces shame and creates space for healing. Therapy provides the tools and support to help you move forward.
Myth: If I go to therapy, it means something is “wrong” with me.
Fact: Going to therapy means you’re investing in your mental health. Just like going to the gym strengthens your body, therapy strengthens your mind and emotional well-being.
Myth: Couples counseling is only for relationships on the verge of breaking up.
Fact: Many couples come to therapy not because things are “falling apart,” but because they want to strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and learn new ways to support each other. Therapy can be a proactive tool for building a healthier, more connected partnership.
Myth: Children and teens are “too young” for therapy.
Fact: Kids and teens benefit greatly from therapy. Early support helps them develop coping skills, emotional awareness, and healthy communication habits that last a lifetime.
✨ Mental health is for everyone, at every stage of life. Myths create stigma, but facts open the door to understanding, healing, and growth.
