You Need Therapy: Myths, Misconceptions & Why My Therapist Fired Me?

Do you actually need therapy? Why do people judge therapy so hard? Can your therapist actually "fire" you? And why does opening up feel so uncomfortable? This week on HOT AIR, Joshua is unpacking therapy myths, mental health misconceptions, and the reality of beginning therapy. From awkward first sessions and emotional baggage to LGBTQ mental health, people pleasing, survival mechanisms, and why your therapist isn't there to fix you. Joshua also shares the surprising story of the moment his own therapist told him he was done with therapy and why therapy isn't necessarily meant to last forever.
