BetterHelp on Let's Not Meet: A True Horror Podcast

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. We talk about mental health more openly now than we ever have. It's on social media, podcasts, it's in everyday conversations. But actually asking for help still feels hard for a lot of people. BetterHelp wanted to understand why. So they did research. 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. That gap is wild. Almost everyone agrees that therapy is a good idea, and yet the majority of people still feel like the world around them pushes back against actually doing it. I think about that a lot with a show like Let's Not Meet, where we hear from people carrying all kinds of weight, and I wonder how many of them have thought about talking to someone but talked themselves out of it because of how it might look. If you've ever encouraged a friend to consider therapy, you already know how much that nudge can mean. Sometimes people just need permission, so consider this yours. BetterHelp has over 30,000 fully licensed therapists and has served over 6 million people globally, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 across 1.7 million client reviews.
