Why I’m Starting Therapy
-
I thought I would give a bit of a life update... after reading & listening to a lot of content recently, I’ve been thinking about therapy.
-
Now obviously that’s a term which comes with a lot of baggage, but in the same way that sobriety can be used as a tool, I really think that therapy can be too. And I wanted to give my reasons for why I’m starting therapy and hopefully enlighten you as to why you might need it too.
-
Now most people presume that therapy isn’t needed unless there’s something catastrophically wrong with you, in the same way as sobriety is something that’s done by alcoholics, therapy is viewed as something that’s only done by people who are manically depressed or desperately need help.
-
But the thing is, I think we all kind of desperately need help. None of us are all that we could be. And this isn’t for me to say that I think that therapy is going to turn me into some sort of super hero, but increasingly as I’m talking to more and more people online and the audience that listens to me is growing, this quote from Aubrey Marcus comes up...
-
“In order to serve, you have to be fit for service”.
-
And being frank, I don’t think I’m as fit for service as I should be. Maybe I’m holding myself to too high standards, but I don’t want to just be “good enough” to help other people, I want to be better than that.
-
“You don’t serve other people from your cup, you serve them from the saucer around your cup” - and I think I’ve still got some room in my cup.
-
I did a video explaining my reasons, it might be useful to you. The link is in my bio ⬆️
