Seeing Prince Harry Deal with His Pain Is Good for Anyone Who's Struggling
That's pretty much all of us right now, which is why you need to watch 'The Me You Can't See.'
It’s difficult to communicate the complicated process by which a life event transforms into a trauma, where our best available coping strategies morph into mental health struggles. As a therapist and a writer, I also know how hard it is to capture the precise way in which pain transforms into recovery. As Lady Gaga, one of the participants in the show, says at one point, “the line is very thin.”
Yet, roughly 10 minutes into this series, which is co-created and produced by Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry and premiers on May 21, we’re given a montage that captures this process viscerally. We see Prince Harry the boy stoically holding his feelings in at his mother’s funeral alongside a more visibly anxious Harry as a young adult trying to go about his royal duties and keep his discomfort at bay, the burden of the mask more apparent now.
