As we step into September, we may get excited about sweaters, fall, and pumpkin spice everything. However, September is also Mental Health Awareness Month. For this, the Wellhouse Crew has decided to use this powerful time to reflect on the hidden landscapes within us. Our thoughts can be unsettling, even frightening, when we are faced with our anxieties, self-doubts, or even past traumas. But, just like haunted houses, the fear often lies in what we DON'T understand. The good news? We don't have to explore these corridors alone. Help is available, and healing is possible. So, listen in to our honest conversation so we all can confront the ghosts in our minds and begin to reclaim our peace. #mentalhealth #suicideawareness #depression #honestconversations Hosted on Acast.
