She additional mentioned, “He was game for trying something. And we thought well, we have the opportunity to film this [therapy] and maybe this is something that will work for some people, maybe it won`t, but the idea is that you don`t tick a box and you`re done, mental wellness is an ongoing pursuit.”
Porter shared, “You have to continue to try new things and to push yourself, and his volunteering to try something was a great way to emphasize and underscore that point.”
In the docuseries, Harry overtly talks about his upbringing within the royal household, how he takes after his late mom, Princess Diana, how he`s modified as an individual since turning into a father along with his spouse Meghan Markle, and the way a lot he`s grown stronger mentally after 4 years of working along with his therapist.
According to Porter, each Harry and Oprah determined to helm the docuseries due to their “personal and deep feelings about destigmatizing conversations around mental health and mental wellness.”
“This was really important to both of them, and so they were extremely hands-on,” Porter mentioned of the pair.
Porter added, “We had meetings every other week. We would look at footage of different possible participants. We would talk through their stories. We would talk to what each story would bring to the series, and that also led to both of them participating. They were seeing in real time how our subjects were opening up, and then they both really opened up too, so I`m really proud of that, that they were so involved and it was such a collaborative effort for our team.”
Harry mentioned within the docuseries that Meghan, whom he married in May 2018, impressed him to pursue therapy extra severely than ever after they met.
“It was meeting and being with Meghan, I knew that if I didn`t do therapy and fix myself, that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with,” mentioned Harry. After pursuing therapy, Harry finally gained “one of the biggest lessons” in his life, he mentioned within the docuseries.
The Duke added, “You`ve sometimes got to go back and to deal with really uncomfortable situations and to be able to process it in order to be able to heal. For me, therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything. That`s why I`m here now. That`s why my wife is here now.”
Since stepping down as working royals in March 2020, Harry and Meghan have established their new life in Montecito, California, with their son Archie. This summer time, the couple is anticipating their second little one, a child woman.
