Therapy Myths That Keep People Stuck

Many people believe therapy is only for severe mental illness or personal failure. In reality, therapy is a proactive way to care for your emotional health—especially during grief, aging, or chronic anxiety. These myths often keep people suffering longer than necessary.

Others worry they should be able to “handle it themselves.” At Thrive Center for Therapy & Wellness, we see seeking help as a strength, not a weakness. Support can make life’s challenges feel more manageable and less isolating.
