As stated by Brené Brown "Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves". I've heard many people echo these same thoughts in regards to their mental health. When we try not to "burden" others, or are fearful of seeming "weak", or ignore our feelings it can become unbearable and lead us to feeling stuck. Everyone can use a helping hand at times, and therapy can be used as a safe place to figure out your next step.
