Embracing Wholeness: Mental Health Stigma and Self-Compassion

The fact that you go to counseling or want to go back to counseling doesn't mean you are needy. The fact that you take medication does not mean you are broken.
What if you could embrace your flaws and still feel whole? In this episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', hosts Chad Moses and Becky Ebert dive into the powerful statement, 'I am not broken. Who I am is whole.' This episode is part of the Black & White Miniseries, which aims to tackle mental health stigma one statement at a time. Chad and Becky discuss the importance of self-compassion and how practicing grace towards oneself can be transformative.
They explore how we can be both hurting and healing simultaneously, emphasizing that seeking therapy or taking medication for mental health issues is a sign of strength, not weakness. Becky, who has been the editor at TWLOHA for nearly five years, shares her own experiences and insights, adding a personal touch to the conversation. Whether she's behind her computer or hiking with her dog Bucky Barnes, Becky brings a relatable and warm perspective to the topic.
The episode also highlights the role of community in offering support and guidance during tough times. Listeners will find value in the shared experiences and practical tools for self-care, such as prompted journaling. The episode wraps up with a hopeful message and a reminder that crisis counseling is always available for those in need. If you're looking to break down mental health stigma and embrace your wholeness, this episode is a must-listen.
