People would rather talk about a colonoscopy than their decision to go to counseling! Steph and Beth think out loud by why we divide our mental health from our physical health when we have only one body.
When was the last time you set a goal for your mental health? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth tackle the intriguing question of why we find it easier to chat about physical health than mental health. Ever noticed how people would rather discuss a colonoscopy than their therapy sessions?
Steph and Beth ponder this curious divide, sharing their own experiences with setting mental health goals and breaking down the stigma that often surrounds mental health care. They also explore the differences between counseling and therapy, and how financial barriers can make mental health care seem out of reach for many. The duo highlights the growing comfort among younger generations in discussing mental health, thanks in part to social media's influence.
With personal anecdotes and candid discussions, this episode offers a refreshing take on why mental health deserves just as much attention as physical health. Tune in to gain new perspectives and maybe even feel inspired to set your own mental health goals.
