I wouldn't feel kind of embarrassed by much, to be honest.
And I think these things are personal, but if you want to share it with your friends or your family...
the very definition of a good friend or family member should be very supportive of that.
I don't think therapy is anything to be ashamed about at all.
In fact, I would put therapy in a similar category to running, lifting weights, looking after yourself.
You know, it's a workout for the mind.
So, you know, me saying to my wife even, oh, you know, I'm going to be home a bit late.
I'm having an hour of therapy after work.
She would only ever see that as a positive thing, even if life was, in inverted commas, great.
I think that I think there are some people that I might be anxious about or nervous to tell them I'm in therapy.
I can't think who those people are, but I definitely, I think what bothers me is if you say, oh yeah, I'm in therapy at the moment.
what's the follow-up question going to be?
Oh, why?
Or like, are you okay?
Or can we do anything to help?
And that's what I don't really want.
Do you know what I mean?
So I wouldn't mind saying, oh yeah, I'm seeing someone at the moment because I'm struggling a bit.
But then it's all the follow-up stuff.
So you don't want the sympathy?
