Eva Mendes is big on therapy.

According to E! News, the actress says that therapy has helped her a lot, especially after her stint in rehab earlier this year. Mendes says one of her biggest issues was coping with her own success.

“Up until recently, I was really uncomfortable with having success and enjoying it,” Mendes says. “I just couldn’t deal with that. How can I have so much? It’s not fair. How can the world have so little?…I allowed it to mess with me in the sense that I just didn’t know how to handle it.”

Things are different now. “I’ve really broken it down to this simple thing: I deal with everything by giving it away,” Mendes explains. “It’s genius. It works.”

Some of this “giving away” includes a new pair of Cartier sunglasses she insisted an elderly friend of hers keep when she tried them on. “I said, ‘You need to have them. They look really good on you,’ “Mendes says.
