214. How to Convince Someone to Go to Therapy

It’s hard to watch someone you care about struggling with mental health issues. You know that if they’d go to therapy, their life would be so much better, but they just won’t listen, or you’re afraid to even approach them because they’re so prickly and defensive about their issues. Between the research and my years of experience having these difficult conversations, I’ve identified an effective three-step process that helps others become motivated to go to therapy and take the actions needed to change their lives. They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. That might be true, but today you’ll learn my three-step process to salt the oats.
