Positive Reframe: Stigma Against Going To Therapy

In this episode of Positive Reframe, I explore the stigma surrounding therapy and how we can shift our perspective to view it as an opportunity for growth and well-being. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to process past experiences, unprocessed stressors, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

By addressing these, we can better understand our defense mechanisms and how they impact our lives. Our vital need to feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure is essential to developing a healthy nervous system and creating positive change. Discover how therapy can help you make conscious choices and create lasting peace in your life.





Positive Reframe shares resources with the intent of the positive progression of informed decision-making related to issues associated with emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual wellness. While I share personal and professional perspectives, my writings reflect my personal opinion and are not intended to substitute professional advice, diagnosis, and treatment thus the content shared on this page is for informational purposes only. This online medium does not lend itself to the level of detail and rapport building required for thorough assessment and therapeutic intervention. To make well-informed decisions that best meet your family’s unique needs, I highly recommend exploring and researching available options, consulting primary healthcare providers, engaging in respectful dialogue with friends and family as well as seek referrals from a trusted source for professional counseling. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Illinois, USA.
