Why Psychologists are awful... but necessary | Mark MI Words #mentalillness #PTSD

from Mark MI words · host Mark Brosnan

You know, when you talk to people about mental health, you’ll hear all kinds of takes about psychologists. Some folks absolutely swear by therapy and counselling, while others are more hesitant or even sceptical, maybe because of a bad experience or just different beliefs. It’s only natural—everyone’s got their own story and background that shape how they see mental health support.Let me share where I’m coming from. I hear people say psychologists get it wrong, that they misdiagnose, or just don’t get what you’re going through. I really do get those concerns. But at the end of the day, what matters to me is what actually works—the real-life evidence, you know?From my own experience, going to see a psychologist was the best step I could have taken. Honestly, I owe so much to two incredible psychologists who helped me turn things around. Without them, I’m not sure where I’d be today.Funny enough, the people who helped me in the end weren’t the ones I was sent to first. When I got injured, I got referred to psychologists who’d spent decades working with veterans. Because my case was labelled PTSD, I guess they figured I’d fit right in. But since I wasn’t a veteran, it just didn’t click—they didn’t really relate to what I was dealing with. That experience taught me something important: finding the right mental health professional, someone who really gets you, makes all the difference.SUPPORT US NOW.
