Understanding Therapy Misconceptions

Many misconceptions about therapy stem from a lack of visibility into what a session truly entails. Typically portrayed in movies and conversations, therapy is often associated with serious psychiatric issues rather than being recognized as a valuable tool for anyone seeking personal growth. Additionally, societal stereotypes about masculinity contribute to men feeling that seeking help violates their self-reliance and emotional stoicism. By openly discussing and reframing these misconceptions, individuals can begin to appreciate therapy as a transformative, conversational experience rather than something exclusive or stigmatized.
