Why Therapy Should Be as Common as Going to the Gym

Imagine trying to lift a heavy weight without warming up first—you’d probably hurt yourself. Mental health works the same way. Therapy is like the mental warm-up we all need. Just like we work out our bodies to stay fit, therapy helps our minds stay strong. I started going a few months ago, and let me tell you, it’s as refreshing as a post-workout smoothie. Talking through my worries with someone who isn’t biased or stressed about their own life felt like a mental cleanse. Therapy isn’t just for when things get tough; it’s for staying tough. Everyone deserves it, just like we all deserve a good gym session.
