The news article, which anticipated a significant drop in the stock market, reminded Ethan of his late father who had lost everything to the Wall Street meltdown of 2008. That era had been a significant trigger for his downward slide. Faced with this unexpected connection, Ethan found a new determination to confront his demons and not let history repeat itself.

Intent on taking action, Ethan found the Stepping Into Action program online. The program, which encouraged self-exploration and constructive actions, opened Ethan's eyes to his capability and resilience. He found particularly inspiration in the quote by Hollis, stating, 'It's about finding the strength within ourselves to step forward, even when it feels like the world is pushing us back.'

While experts assert the effectiveness of online self-help programs, there's a level of controversy that shouldn't be overlooked. Detractors argue that online programs lack the personal touch and immediacy that face-to-face therapy offers. Nonetheless, for Ethan, remote learning provided him the flexibility and comfort zones, allowing him to process his feelings and act on them in his own time.

In smaller towns like Alpha, finding specialized counseling services can be challenging. Providing access to these tools over the internet can be a game-changer for those seeking help. Ethan's story reiterates that even during tough times, there's always a way to seek help and make a positive change.
