*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode talks about self harm and suicide, so please tune in with care. Today's mini episode was inspired by another beautiful, important e-mail received by the Yoga to Cope team. The writer spoke about over and over hearing young people speak about not feeling like things were "bad enough" to seek help of find counseling. It also spoke to a huge community of young people self-harming, feeling hopeless, and feeling alone. Tune in to this mini episode to hear when to seek therapy (spoiler alert: it's not only for people in crisis) and why it is so important to let go of the untrue narratives we so often tell ourselves related to mental health, self harm, and seeking help. Please use the resources below as you begin or confute your self-help and wellness journey, and PLEASE share this episode and these resources with anyone you know who needs to hear our message.
