…I remember vividly staring into my dog’s eyes and realizing I needed help. That was my moment of, ‘I have to make some changes because I’m not healthy right now.” I immediately loaded my dog into my Jeep and drove 15 hours to Colorado to my parents

The Bachelor alum confessed his state of mind and seeing “a therapist and a psychologist and getting on a game plan” made a big difference. Fortunately, it seems as if Colton Underwood’s mom and dad wanted to help their son.
