Summary

Our mental health series is sponsored by Terri and Andrew Herenstein.

This episode is sponsored by someone supporting 18Forty’s work.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we listen in on a conversation between David Bashevkin and his dear and longtime friend Elie Schulman about the value of therapy.

In a culture in which we can feel we’re constantly being sized up and evaluated by others, accepting our own vulnerability can be one of the hardest things to do. In this episode we discuss:

How can someone know it’s time to get therapy?
How can we get beyond excessively comparing ourselves with our peers?
What does it mean to “lift up” a friend?

Tune in to hear a conversation about how seeking help can be a sign and source of strength.

Interview begins at 11:29.
