Your story is important and, finally, we need you here at twloha... It's okay to ask for help, and it's a reminder that if it's okay to ask for help, that's one party in this conversation right.
Why is it so hard to ask for help? In this thought-provoking episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', host Lindsay Kolsch and TWLOHA team member Chad Moses tackle this very question. As part of their Black and White miniseries, they explore the powerful statement: 'It Is OK To Ask For Help'. The conversation dives deep into the emotional barriers that prevent many from reaching out, including the heavy burden of shame versus the more situational feeling of guilt.
Chad Moses shares that while guilt makes you feel like you've done something wrong, shame makes you feel like you are something wrong. This distinction is crucial in understanding why so many struggle to seek help when they need it most. But the message here is clear: your story matters, and asking for help is a brave step towards healing.
Lindsay admits that she herself is still learning to build the 'muscle memory' of seeking support, a sentiment many listeners will relate to. Chad emphasizes the importance of familiarizing yourself with available resources, whether they're local or global. TWLOHA's website offers a wealth of information to guide you on this journey. Another significant point in their discussion is the act of offering help to others.
It's not just about waiting for someone to ask; sometimes, extending a hand can make all the difference. Chad recounts a touching story of a mother who used TWLOHA's resources to help her preteen daughter find a counselor, illustrating how early intervention can change lives. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder: it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to offer it.
By breaking the silence around mental health, TWLOHA aims to show that no one has to face their struggles alone. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to start those difficult conversations and seek the support you deserve.
