It’s Jasmine here. Today I wanted to discuss the issue of seeking therapy while balancing your working life and family. A lot of people find themselves in a situation that they need to get out of, whether it’s alcohol dependency, stress or mental illness, one of the deciding factors that prevents people from seeking help is the time and cost involved. Not only can therapy be expensive but seeking treatment can also cause negative consequences in your work Life.
Kit Harington from Game of Thrones is taking time to seek treatment for his alcohol problems and stress but one wonders if he delayed treatment because of the risk involved in taking time off work and/or the media attention he would receive. While Kit Harington isn’t your average working man, he does represent a very common problem in our society. By looking at his struggles we can ask ourselves if treatment is being delayed because of external factors that are given more importance over our health and well being.
