Sponsor: BetterHelp Mental Health Ad
At 0:20 · chapter starts 0:00
The episode opens with a BetterHelp sponsorship spot citing the brand's 2026 State of Stigma report, which surveyed 2,000 Americans. The headline finding is stark: 85% of respondents believe seeking mental health support is a wise decision, yet 74% think society actively discourages people from doing so. The ad positions BetterHelp as the solution to that gap, noting that users complete a short questionnaire to be matched with a fully qualified US therapist, and can switch therapists at any time. Listeners are directed to betterhelp.com/TRIPUS for a 10% discount on their first month.
