\"Therapy
Everyone could benefit from receiving quality therapy to help negotiate the daily struggles and joys of being human.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, with more people embracing therapy<\/a> and celebrities sharing how it changed their lives, there is an increased awareness of how therapy can enhance the quality of everyday life.<\/p>\n

What is the public stigma around therapy?<\/h2>\n

When people refer to the stigma of mental illness and therapy, they are referring to a widespread, negative perception of therapy and people who need therapy. When people internalize these associations with therapy, they are less likely to receive care.<\/p>\n

Across the United States, people with negative beliefs towards therapy might think, \u201ctherapy is a sign of weakness\u201d or \u201cI am not \u2018crazy,\u2019 so why do I need therapy?\u201d The reality is that everyone could benefit from receiving quality therapy that helps them negotiate the daily struggles and joys of being human.<\/p>\n

Besides being frustrating for people in need of mental health support, the public stigma around therapy also prevents friends and family from understanding the complexity of mental health.<\/p>\n

Celebrities Breaking Stigmas: Selena Gomez, A Case Study<\/h2>\n

Each year, celebrities share their mental health journey and discuss how therapy changed their lives. This year, Selena Gomez told Vogue<\/a> about how therapy changed her life. Said how she wished \u201cmore people would talk about therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In particular, Gomez spoke of how dialectical behavioral therapy, or DBT, helps her find balance, support, and insight. DBT is one of three types of therapy<\/a> that can help people with depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n

Most therapy treatments can be done through in-office or online therapy<\/a> appointments.<\/p>\n
