I& #39;ll always believe that anyone who can have access to therapy should be getting it, no matter what reason, because it& #39;s helped me a lot throughout my life
but also
as someone who& #39;s gone to therapy in four different points of my life: it didn& #39;t fix me. probably never will.

immediate problems and things I needed to get off my chest? sure, therapy helped me a lot with that
the more internal problems? my anxiety, lack of social skills, trust issues, maladjustment... those didn& #39;t go away, and were never TRULY within the scope

at the very least, if that& #39;s something therapy can fix, then I think it would& #39;ve taken /much/ more therapy than I got. it isn& #39;t some magic button that makes your problems and traumas go away. It takes a lot of work, it& #39;s raw and painful. and your therapist is only human.
sometimes even they won& #39;t /get it/. they may misread you, or suggest things you& #39;ve already tried. hell, maybe therapy has a limited effect on me exactly because one of my bad brain symptoms is that I& #39;m self-judgmental and question my actions all the time...
