Mental Health Crusader: Storm Your Mind and Take Back Your Mental Health
While you can get by with coping mechanisms, at the end of the day, they’re just A way to cope, but not a resolution.
Far too many people think, “I have mental health issues and there’s nothing I can do about it.” While this is altogether untrue, it’s for good reason people think this way. The very professionals who are supposed to be guiding you towards healing and emotional wellness are possessed by this attitude and therefore pass it along to the general public.
When a mental health professional focuses solely on medication and coping mechanisms, what’s the underlying message? It’s something like, “I don’t believe you can ever truly get better, so don’t try. Instead, rely on medication and learning to cope.” Do you see how, while not directly stated, that’s the underlying message of such an approach? If there is another way, why don't more people know about it? As someone who went through a master’s program in mental health counseling, I can say with certainty that it’s because professionals are taught to believe strictly in medication plus coping mechanisms from day one.
There is another way.
It’s the way of the mental health crusader. It won’t be easy—what worthwhile cause has ever been easy?—but it will free you from the self-captivity to which you’ve fallen victim. Are you ready to face your internal enemy and take back your mental health?
