BetterHelp on Happier with Gretchen Rubin

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. We talk about mental health much more openly than we used to, but asking for help can still feel surprisingly difficult. In fact, BetterHelp's 2026 State of Stigma report surveyed 2,000 Americans and revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. The gap is fascinating. We can believe something is helpful and still hesitate to take the step ourselves. One way to close that gap is by normalizing conversations about mental health and encouraging people to seek support when they think it could help. BetterHelp has over 30,000 therapists and has served more than 6 million people globally. They also do the initial matching work for you using a short questionnaire to help identify your needs and preferences. Don't let stigma stand in the way of support. Start therapy with BetterHelp.
