Harry Styles has reflected on going to therapy for five years, admitting that it has made him "more alive" after years of avoiding it.The former One Direction star, who can be seen in the new trailer for his upcoming film, Don't Worry Darling, alongside Florence Pugh, confessed that he had previously had misconceptions about going to therapy. "I thought it meant that you were broken," the 28 year old movie star said. "I wanted to be the one who could say I didn't need it." However, Harry explained that attending therapy "opened up rooms in himself" that he didn't know existed and allowed him to face his mental health problems in a healthy and safe space.
