Independence Is A Myth

Independence is a major theme for our work at Mettle Health. In general, we feel that American society has been built up around the idea of total independence as a virtue, but this can cause some major suffering when any one of us gets into a situation where we need help.

When we’ve lived so much of our lives priding ourselves on doing it on our own, how do we even begin to ask for help? And how do we let go of the idea that needing something beyond yourself is to be human, not a flaw or shortcoming. We will all need help one day, if we start practicing now, it will be easier later.
