Many of us suffer alone, in silence, with those negative thought loops keeping us stuck, small, afraid. But if you had a broken arm that got treated, there would be no shame in it. Shouldn't we treat the mental and physical the same?

If not, what is the point of education? To only feed the intellect while remaining undeveloped in every other way?
Just lo...
