Destigmatizing Therapy

Eric Freeman of "Early Termination Option" (http://earlyterminationoption.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/ron-artest-is-now-a-mental-health-spokesman/) provided an interesting perspective on a famous basketball player involved in advocating for mental health awareness.  Regardless of this particular player's history of behavior, it is refreshing to see someone in the public limelight take a stand with regard to an issue that is often subject to social stigma.  (It is particularly heartening to see this from someone in the often machismo-filled world of sports.)  It is my firm belief that we all can benefit from therapy, and that no one should feel in the least ashamed for seeking such help.
