Amber Hollingsworth pushes back on the stigma around therapy, comparing a counselor to a personal trainer for your mind. She argues that seeing a therapist isn't a sign something is wrong with you, it's something successful people do.
So there may be crazy people out there that have counselors, but they're not getting counseled. They may be getting social work or something like that, but they're not doing counseling. So if you have that thought, I really want you to put that aside. That's not true. And if that doesn't help, then I'm going to tell you what I tell my clients. Everyone who's anyone has a counselor or a coach these days. It's status. It's like having a personal trainer. All the Desperate Housewives, all the rock stars, all the movie stars, everybody has their sounding board.
