Default Re: therapy

I think its difficult to apply a blanket statement towards therapy of "it wont work". Its really a case by case basis and I think it depends on your expectations going into it. Furthermore, it depends on why the person is seeking out counseling to begin with. I think if its a person who was physically/sexually abused as a child, to say that they'll just figure things out in time is not only ridiculous but dangerous.

I saw a therapist for about a year because I felt shitty with no real explanation for it. I could have spoken to friends but generally the company you keep, you keep because they have similar outlooks on life. Getting perspective on your own life from an outside source kind of tilts it on its axis a bit and gives you a chance to better examine what you need/want. I would say go for it.
