Chris Bumstead explains the vital role of a therapist

Therapy can help individuals explore their thoughts and emotions in a safe and supportive manner.?“Therapy probably just gives you a new perspective of things And there’s so many things where I’ve come in and I’m pretty fu**ing stubborn,”?revealed Bumstead. Adding to this, he said,?“I’ll argue people against anything and I found a good therapist who I argue should argue back, and we just debate, and again, it teaches me to see both sides a lot clearly.”

An important aspect of therapy is embracing disagreements. The process helps individuals get an alternative perspective on things, which can be helpful in personal growth and self-awareness, as pointed out by Bumstead in the video.

Continuing further, Bumstead said,?“Doesn’t mean that if I agree with someone else’s perspective, that they are right and I’m wrong. It just means two people have two different perspectives.”?He also stated,?“In this world of f**king crazy polarization and right-wing left-wing politics and all this crazy bulls**t, being able to see both sides and meet in the middle sometimes… rather than argue all the time is a huge benefit.”

Creating a non-judgmental space for their clients is a critical aspect of a therapist’s job. By providing constructive criticism and listening to the troubles of individuals, a therapist can guide them to better understand their feelings and behaviors to improve their lives. The willingness to embrace healthy disagreements can lead to personal growth and improved relationships. Seeking professional help should be seen as a strength and not a weakness in our society.
