Sophia Laforteza<\/a> and Manon Bannerman are taking time away from the band to focus on their wellness, and now Skiendiel\u00a0has revealed that therapy has been a real help for her.<\/p>\nSpeaking to People, the 20-year-old Skiendiel\u00a0said: \u201cI\u2019ve always struggled with mental health and everything in that essence.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I think something that\u2019s really helped me are the people that I surround myself with, especially the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skiendiel\u00a0also shared how supported she feels in the band.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI\u2019m very outgoing, but at the same time, some people can think that could be too much. But these girls never make me feel like I\u2019m being too much.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think the best thing that really helped me was just surrounding myself with the right people.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued: “That\u2019s the biggest insecurity, people judging me or whatever. But yeah, I think I\u2019ve really learned to know how to surround myself with the right people and people that bring me up and encourage me to bring that side out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the benefits of regular therapy sessions, Skiendiel\u00a0said: \u201cIt\u2019s really nice to be able to talk out feelings rather than holding it in. I think that\u2019s the biggest thing I\u2019ve learned.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skiendiel\u00a0previously took a step back in 2024 and can empathise whenever one of her fellow bandmates feels that it’s time to rest.<\/p>\n
Speaking in the girls’ Wild Hearts documentary released last week, she said: “For me, when I was on hiatus, I was injured with my back, and it was definitely hard being able to see everything that the girls were doing and not being able to be there myself.”<\/p>\n
Addressing Bannerman’s hiatus, Laforteza says in the film: “When Manon went on hiatus, it was definitely sad. Manon connects with people at an incredible level.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katseye star Megan Skiendiel has opened up about her struggles with mental health as two members of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[49,48,3332,84,393,394],"class_list":["post-867598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrity","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
