Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

108 — 10 Signs You're Mentally Stronger Than You Think

16 min • 17 maj 2024

There are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be mentally stronger and how to know when you are gaining strength. Unfortunately, society often rewards us for acting tough while not actually being strong. This can lead to confusion and frustration about whether you are getting better and growing stronger.

As a therapist, I want everyone to know that if you are doing any of these 10 things, you are probably already stronger than you give yourself credit for. Keep in mind that we are all a work in progress, and there is always room for improvement.
