Everything Cracks: 5 Psychologists On Their Own Suffering.
There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.
No one is free from mental anguish—not nuns or princes, healers or sherpas, and not even psychologists.
Below, five psychologists talk openly and honestly about their struggles and how what connects us is our joys and sorrows.
That none of us is truly alone.
Until next week, I will remain…
Amanda

Quick note: Nope, I’m not a therapist—just someone who spent 25 years with undiagnosed panic disorder and 23 years in therapy. How to Live distills what I’ve learned through lived experience, therapy, and obsessive research—so you can skip the unnecessary suffering and better understand yourself.
