That was for “other people.” But here’s the truth: strength is not the absence of struggle. Addressing mental health myths directly helps us break stigma and find the support we deserve. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a friend or client whisper, “I thought I was the only one going through this.” And yet,…
