If you don’t do this you’ll stay stuck. Period. #MentalHealth

So when I saw that video from the therapist that said that we've made feeling better, the goal instead of becoming better, let's be real. Mental health today is all about relief. He's talking about breathwork, boundary, self-care Sunday, et cetera, and all that's great. It, that was never meant to be the whole solution. They're in an epidemic of symptom management. What I mean by that is people learning how to feel better in the moment. Instead of actually building the capacity to handle life and acquiring constant relief, you know, give you an example. Boundaries, a high board, everybody's talking about boundaries. Boundaries are supposed to help us navigate hard conversations and relationship, but lately it's been a way for us to avoid all of that entirely. So you'll often hear things like, if it drains you, walk away. If they don't respect your boundary, cut them off. You don't owe anybody access to you. To be real with you, sometimes people do deserve that. If your only solution is to cut people off, you'll always need boundaries to feel safe. That's the truth. Because you haven't actually built the internal strength to deal with the discomfort. So here's what you should be learning, but regulate emotions without needing space from them, had to communicate clearly without stonewalling people, three, trusting yourself enough to navigate situations instead of just avoiding them. It's not all just about stress management people about making sure you have the right strength to handle it. So now I have a question for you. If you're on this mental health journey right now, do you feel like it's made do stronger or do you feel like it's just made you dependent on tools.
