Use of therapy

“That’s 33 years,” the actress writes as an introduction to her list of achievements. Among them is the selection of psychological followers. “I’ve been through a lot of therapy (AGAINST therapy!),” she writes.

Indeed, the months leading up to her birthday were not always easy for the actress. In her text, Emma Watson admits that she has been “feeling very sad and very sad about a lot of things” lately. He specifically mentions the loss of his grandfather and grandmother, but also the difficulties of getting out of his “Covid cocoon”.

It’s no secret that Emma Watson confesses on the couch. Having been very active in politics for several years, especially through her role as UN Women Ambassador, the young woman regularly and publicly defends the benefits of seeing a psychologist. “I learned more about love and being a woman,” she also notes in her text.

No small victory

In addition to therapy, the young woman also tried various experiences, which she lists on her Instagram page. Surfing, horseback riding, culinary misadventures, travel, adopting a dog… The memories he evokes are similar to those of any young adult, except for a few outstanding professional abilities and personal bests. “I created a global investment fund for women. I used to play pickleball with Sugar Ray Leonard (American boxing legend, editor’s note) (…). I did my first commercial,” he says.

Finally, the young woman describes her small victories, always with a touch of irony. “I’m eating green stuff now,” she says. I even played golf and then tried to get all my girlfriends to learn too. I cut two of my thumbnails trying to make one for myself and then only managed to do it with one hand for months.

“It takes a whole village”

The actress concludes her post by thanking those around her for supporting her every day. In particular, she thanks the women in her community, her “wizards,” who “played such a vital role in helping (her) get to where (she) is today.” And to conclude using the popular expression. “It takes a whole village, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
