In an interview with BetterUp’s CEO Alexi Robichaux about mental health, Prince Harry spoke candidly about the effect of therapy on his life, claiming that it “opened” his eyes.
The Duke of Sussex discussed how therapy had helped him regain a sense of “confidence” that he hadn’t realized had been missing in his first public appearance since the Queen’s funeral. He said, “The minute I started doing therapy, it opened my eyes.” “Therapy burst the bubble I was living in, thinking there was only one way to live.”

Added him: “The next bubble burst when I found coaching, and all of a sudden I realized I had perspective and a clear understanding of my value. I reclaimed a sense of confidence that I had lost.”
Earlier on Thursday, BetterUp teased the interview by posting a black-and-white image of Harry and Alexi conversing on Twitter.
The words: were written in the photo’s caption “At the #MastersofScaleSummit, BetterUp CEO @Arobichaux and @reidhoffman will discuss the importance of leaders focusing on their mental health. Any ideas as to who might be making a surprise appearance to join them?”
