KRISTEN Bell insists it isn’t taboo to go and see and therapist — because it shows that you’re a “strong” person.

The Couples Retreat star, 29, isn’t embarrassed to admit she relies on a shrink.

“I’m a big advocate of therapy, it’s not taboo out here [Hollywood],” she said. “You’re constantly talking about it, referencing your therapist or giving your friend’s the number of your therapist.

“It’s only when you travel a bit out of L.A. that people don’t want to talk about it. They want to keep it hidden, but we don’t need too.

“I’m proud of the fact I see a therapist, it shows you’re a strong person and that you want to grow and change.”

Kristen recently revealed that she likes to play board games with her boyfriend Dax Shepard.

“It’s important to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings,” she told Women’s Health magazine. “Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you’ve created a safe zone. A snuggle party can fix anything — it’s true.

“There is almost nothing, barring a natural disaster, that I would let eat into my time at home, playing Scrabble with Dax.” [source]
