Being vulnerable with someone can be a challenging experience, especially because it is commonly seen as a sign of weakness. We can often be met with passivity in place of warmth when we are opening our deepest truths to others. However, vulnerability can also be seen as a strength because it shows that you have the courage to be your true, authentic self. By meeting with a mental health professional, it may provide the encouragement to move forward in one’s challenges in place of feeling stuck. Being with a mental health counselor aids people in experiencing the acceptance that may encourage the restorative strength in being vulnerable.
