There are individuals who seek help but reject advice, choosing to remain in a victim mentality. It is essential to listen to their needs and ask what kind of support they require, whether it's a listening ear, a hug, collaborative problem-solving, or an opinion. By acknowledging their need to be heard and understood, individuals become more open to receiving advice at the right time and in the right amount.

Therapist, counselor, and author Lori Gottlieb says that a lot of our culture’s approach to mental health is wrong.
In today’s podcast, we discuss what it takes to do therapy effectively. We discuss the prevalence of mental health content online and why that may be a bad thing. We talk about how people’s misunderstandings of vulnerability and boundaries can backfire. And we get into the effect social media might be having on this.
