Nick Cannon takes care of his mental.
In a new conversation with Iyanla Vanzant for his Counsel Culture Show, he reveals that he’s in therapy “four times a week.”
When Vanzant asked what his intention was, he said he started going since he was studying for his Master's in psychology.
“Part of the work was to make sure you actually spend time in therapy, but it's been some years now, and I yearn for it,” he continued. “I first went in like, ‘Oh yeah, I'm just doing this to pick your brain and understand the process. I'm good.’ Then really spending that time. Personally, for me, those hours every week, I call it waste management. It's where I get to just go and let it all out.”
He explained that therapy isn’t a place where he goes to “necessarily make sense of everything,” but “to verbalize, to have the opportunity to ponder and sit and sometimes cry, sometimes just breathe.”
He added, “I always call it my spiritual bandwidth. I can only take so much before I have to get it all out.”
Cannon famously has 12 children with six different women. Back in 2021, he shared some advice that his therapist gave him regarding procreating.
“My therapist says I should be celibate,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “This is the thing...you can’t be like, ‘No, I’m done.’ Like, what if God says, ‘No, you not.’ I was always like, ‘Yo, I want a big family,’ too. So, you know, the Lord has blessed me with what I asked.”
