Summary

There’s a big question that many people ask themselves: do I need help healing? Do I need therapy, a coach, a massage therapist, meds, or a support group? These are difficult questions to answer because of the word "need." In actuality, all we really need is air to breathe, water to hydrate, food, shelter, and some touch. A better question to ask is, am I surviving or thriving? This question has a completely different vibration that opens up the possibility of evaluating where we are on our journey and what kind of help we may want to bring in. Do you struggle with asking for help? Learn how shifting your focus from "need" to "choice" empowers you to embrace available support and thrive. In this episode, I discuss the value of therapy in overcoming hyper-independence, understanding self-worth, and setting boundaries. Discover how therapy helps highly sensitive people (HSPs) navigate mental health challenges and build self-reliance, ensuring you avoid abusive relationships and trust yourself to make healthy decisions.
