Therapy can be a valuable tool for personal growth if the individual chooses to engage with it themselves rather than being forced by others.

Facing fears voluntarily and engaging with the darkest aspects of life allows one to build strength and discover their potential.

“so if you face fears a little bit at a time fears and challenges and you do that voluntarily then you become more than who you are”

The mental health journey involves not just expressing pain to a confidant, but also a deeper spiritual process of confronting repressed issues.

“But that's only half the battle the rest is then a journey of they call it in more spiritual circles dark night of the soul of going through into a place where you're going to uncover everything that was put under that carpet having to bring it to the light”

People should take active responsibility for their own well-being rather than waiting for external sources or therapists to fix their problems.

“it enables them to to take their health into their own hands a bit more and not feel that that they're at the mercy of it.”

Well-being is determined by how one relates to their experiences rather than the content of the experiences themselves.

“it's not the experience itself, it's our relationship with it, which is a lot of what sort of my interest is in.”
