It is 2025, mental therapy isn’t about you ‘needing help’ or ‘being broken.’ It is just a way of taking care of yourself and giving yourself the love you deserve. There are always a lot of whispers, silent judgements and myths floating around when it comes to seeking mental therapy even today. And to be honest, most of them we should’ve gotten rid of like yesterday. But they still exist and those who would want to love themselves the fullest are still left with questions and eyeballs that are saying the same thing over and over again, “you don’t look sick.” So, here we are debunking the top 4 myths about mental therapy:

Nope. Therapy is not a life or death sort of situation. It is not reserved for extreme crisis or urgent breakdowns. You can seek therapy to process everyday stress as well. It can also be to build self-awareness, to learn how to set boundaries and give yourself the space to be and exist with love. Therapy is a safe space for you to vent. It is for everyone who has a mind and thoughts, not just for those who have illness.

Friendships are amazing and we are sure your friends would be lovely people. But talking to friends is far away from seeking help from a professional. Therapists are trained to offer unbiased perspective, suggest tools, techniques and frameworks that help you understand your patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts and make you grow into a better version of yourself.

Is going to see a doctor when you are down with fever a sign of weakness? Choosing therapy is a strong decision and a bold move that you take for yourself. It is not a sign of weakness.

This cannot be further away from the truth. Therapists help you navigate through your problems, develop strategies and help you while you do the work. A therapist is like a mental gym trainer who helps you stretch in the best way possible
