Why Talking About Your Problems Isn’t Enough – Exclusive Interview with Dr. Sharona Cohen
Dr. Sharona Cohen is a psychologist redefining what effective mental health looks like in a high-pressure world. Known for cutting through outdated models and endless analysis, she helps high-functioning individuals build emotional regulation and decision-making capacity where it actually matters—under stress, in relationships, and in real life. Her work challenges the idea that insight alone creates change and points toward a more modern, responsible future for mental health care.
As Dr. Sharona Cohen emphasizes throughout her work, real transformation happens when awareness meets action. “Insight without action keeps people stuck,” she notes, underscoring a central flaw in many traditional therapeutic approaches. Later, she reframes burnout with similar clarity: “Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s what happens when you keep operating at a pace your system can’t maintain.”
