Don't Wait for the Breakdown: Why Therapy is Your Best Early Gift | Haesue Jo

Deciding to ask for help and get emotional support in the form of therapy is a really tough decision for many people. We’re at a time in history where millions of people are dealing with mental health challenges. We’ve seen a rise of celebrities coming out to speak on their battle with mental health to help normalize the idea that it’s okay to seek help.

Our guest this episode is a licensed therapist from BetterHelp, and she likens going to therapy to getting routine car maintenance. Waiting for your car to completely break down on the highway isn’t a great idea, and you don’t have to wait until you’re having a mental health crisis to seek help and talk to someone.

Haesue Jo, MA is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the current Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp, the world's largest online therapy service.

This conversation is dedicated to helping people like you break through the mental barriers holding you back from your best life. Haesue is clearly an expert in therapy and does a great job addressing some key points if you’ve been on the fence about talking to a therapist and getting professional help.

The way you show up for yourself, the way you parent your child(ren), the way you resolve conflicts, and even more importantly, the way you feel about yourself when you’re by yourself is all within your control. Emotional support makes it possible.

Wisdom to Remember:

“Generally happy and well adjusted people aren’t spending a lot of their waking moments afraid that people are out to get them…”

“Some people don’t always recognize that what’s familiar might actually be very chaotic and painful and not helpful for a future of healthy living, but it’s familiar.”

“You don’t have to be in crisis, in fact, I don’t want folks to wait until they’re in crisis to consider talking to somebody. The narrative around therapy is shifting now.”
