It depends. If you're in a serious rut I seriously think a therapist could make it worse. You need the right fit who your brain is not going to dismiss the moment they open their mouth.


What you're illustrating there is a self-perpetuating problem: the therapist I pick might not good, so I shouldn't talk to a therapist.

Starting to talk to someone is key; that gets the process rolling. Asking for help is the start, and after doing that if one doesn't get a satisfying answer, they can ask someone else. But if they never take that first step and try to ask, they've gone nowhere.


How would you find the right therapist in that situation?


that's the question, ain't it? Telling people to just suffer through terrible therapy probably ain't the answer


I think the question to ask is: is this therapist helping me or not? If not move on to another one.
