I Have Agoraphobia | My Story

Hey all! This is a video I've always wanted to make. I was hesitant due to ethics, but I talked it out with my therapist, and she said she saw no harm in it. Being open about my mental illnesses on my platform is entirely different than if I were to do so in counseling. However, she didn't even see an issue with that, as long as it's to help the client. I recently read about a couple research studies where clients expressed they found their clinicians to come across as more empathic when they shared their diagnoses and a moderate amount of details about their struggles. I believe in the power of self-disclosure, although I do take ethics seriously and attempt to tread lightly (and will consult w my supervisor about policies). I want to be more open on here though, and I plan to do so from now on. I know that sharing my story is going to help someone else, and that makes it worth putting myself out there. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please give it a like and subscribe to my channel if you've been enjoying my content so far! Ty! :3

Pls share this video w any of your loved ones who have agoraphobia. There isn't enough representation of this MI online, in my opinion, and I hope I can help with that.

Love you all!!
