While many young Americans now think therapy is totally normal, that wasnβt always the case. Baby Boomers often believed therapy was only for βcrazyβ people and tended to suppress their emotions.

However, as Millennials were growing up, there was a major cultural shift. More TV shows, movies, and celebrities began openly talking about therapy and its benefits. They showed that therapy and psychology werenβt just for people with serious problems; they were for everyone.

As the stigma around therapy decreased, technology was also improving, making it more accessible. People no longer had to wait to find a local therapist. They could get help online instead. Apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace made it easy to access therapy anytime, anywhere. Online therapy also tends to be more affordable than in-person sessions, which has made it easier for more people to get the support they need.

American culture also emphasizes independence and solving problems on your own, which aligns well with individual therapy. During this time, self-help books and seminars also became popular.

Many young people now see therapy as a form of self-care. Just like going to the gym or eating healthy, seeing a therapist is considered part of taking care of yourself. These are some of the key reasons therapy has become so normalized in the U.S.
