This week, I am honored to be joined by Sara Kuburić, a Canadian existential psychotherapist, researcher, writer, doctoral candidate, and speaker currently based in Amman, Jordan. In just a year, Sara has amassed over 330.000 followers on Instagram (@millennial.therapist) where she shares insightful posts about mental health, well-being, and existing in accordance with one’s true self.
Millennials are sometimes labeled as “the burnout generation” and are often unfairly criticized for being entitled snowflakes, but it’s not that simple (or arguably true). Research supports the claim that we have more severe mental health issues than previous generations, but few people are asking themselves why that is. In this episode, Sara and I delve into some of the causes behind our generation’s deteriorating mental health and the rising level of loneliness among young people. Sara interestingly points out that we have had to deal with things that older generations never had to, such as social media, longer working hours, stagnant wages, more expensive educations, and much more. We also talk a bit about the concept of online therapy, why you should consider it, and how being more open and transparent about your own struggles both in private and on social media can help destigmatize therapy and the conversation surrounding mental health.
