Harry Styles, now grateful for therapy, used to believe it was reserved for ‘broken’ people

Harry Styles is crediting therapy with helping him put himself back together.

The “Watermelon Sugar” singer, 28, is peeling back the curtain on his previous beliefs about therapy and how getting in touch with his mental health has changed his life for the better.

The former One Direction singer, 28, told Better Home & Gardens that prior to starting therapy roughly five years ago, he believed seeing a shrink “meant that you were broken.”

“I wanted to be the one who could say I didn’t need it,” Styles told the magazine.

But he now feels that therapy has helped “open up rooms” for him that previously sat unknown.

The musician adds that he now feels that “losing it” is actually the biggest win a person can have.

“Living, being happy, hurting in the extremes, that is the most alive you can be,” Styles told the magazine. “Losing it crying, losing it laughing — there’s no way, I don’t think, to feel more alive than that.”
