In this podcast Prince Harry talks about taking the risk of not giving out the standard answer: “I’m fine,” when asked: “How are you?”, smashing the stigma around mental health and the benefits of getting in touch with nature:
The stigma which has historically been associated with seeking help is a topic that has fascinated me since I began my training as a counsellor.
I think it’s really positive that we are beginning to hear the rich and famous speak out about mental health issues. I believe that a real barrier to admitting the need for support can be loved ones’ astonishment that you need to seek counselling even though you may have have the elements in your life that they consider to be the route to happiness for example paid work/a family/ friends etc.
