BetterHelp on Small Town Murder

This podcast, Small Town Murder, is sponsored by BetterHelp. BetterHelp.com. Absolutely. How's everybody doing out there? Everybody doing okay? Here's the thing. We're trying. That's what it is. Why is there still a stigma attached to getting help and support? That makes no sense, and it's the dumbest thing ever. It is. I don't get it at all. I mean, if someone had a medical problem, they went to the doctor, you wouldn't be like, are you weak? Why would this? If you had a cavity, you'd want the dentist to fix it. Yeah, BetterHelp's 2026 state of stigma report surveyed 2,000 Americans and revealed that 85% of Americans think getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discouraged people from doing so. Wow. I mean, that's that's think about that. Everyone thinks it's fine, but yet everyone's discouraging others from doing it's silly. It's really silly. And there is a big there's a chasm in between, you know, people needing mental health support and believing in mental health support and actually seeking it. It's very silly. And. There's plenty we can do as a society, and that would be support people who get help, number one, and realize that it's great and everybody needs therapy. It's good for everybody.
