Why wouldn’t you talk to a therapist? – a 1-minute video with Mary Beth Luedtke
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “Maybe I should talk to my therapist,” but laughed it off, you’re not alone. In this video, we explore the deeper question behind that moment: Why wouldn’t you talk to a therapist—especially when the right conversation could help you break through the noise and build a life grounded in clarity and purpose?
What’s So Funny About Wanting a Better Life?
Why Do We Joke About Therapy?
But beneath the humor is often something real—something a little raw. Because if we’re honest, many of us have been taught that taking emotional work seriously is… a little embarrassing.
We’re praised for being productive, not for being self-aware. We’re encouraged to push through discomfort, not examine it. And we’re rarely taught that sitting with a skilled guide might be one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves.
So when the idea of therapy comes up, it’s easy to default to irony. To joke. To dodge.
There’s Nothing Funny About Wanting a Better Life
But here’s the truth: There’s nothing weak or strange about wanting more clarity, more connection, or more purpose in your life. And there’s nothing funny about learning the skills that help you get there.
At BEing There Counseling, therapy isn’t about wallowing. It’s about waking up. It’s structured. It’s practical. And yes, it can be life-changing—if you’re ready to engage with it seriously.
So the next time you find yourself brushing off the idea, ask yourself: Why wouldn’t you talk to a therapist? Especially if it could help you live the kind of life you quietly wish you had.
