“It’s for My Mental Health!” (…Is It Though?), How We Lie to Ourselves and Call It Healing...

In this episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, we dive into an honest conversation about the overlap between mental health and addiction, and how easily one can be mistaken for the other. So many of us have used “mental health” as a shield because it feels more acceptable, more sympathetic, and less confronting than acknowledging patterns of addiction. But when we blur the lines, we delay the real help and healing we need.

This discussion explores self-awareness, accountability, and the courage it takes to stop hiding behind a label that protects us from the truth. It’s about understanding our own motivations, recognizing when we are avoiding something deeper, and learning to face what we fear with integrity and compassion. If you’ve ever struggled to tell the difference between when you’re taking care of yourself and when you’re avoiding yourself, this episode is for you.
