    Honestly therapy isn’t for everyone. There’s lots of shitty therapists out there that do more damage than good, and far more often than not it’s expensive. I agree with the sentiment here but people on the internet really need to stop suggesting it to everyone all the time.

      You’re correct. Therapy isn’t for everyone. It’s for people with mental health problems.

      Therapists are just like any other professional. There are good ones and bad ones. If you’re seeing a bad one, keep looking until you find a good one.

        Yes, exactly. But there are people even in the replies here trying to say everyone needs a therapist.

      Everyone should see a therapist. Not every day or even every year but it’s one of the best preventative measures you can have. People bring it up because a lot of folks who struggle with basic emotional health problems don’t see one or feel a stigma around it.

      If your therapist sucks or just isnt a good fit for you, you find a new one. Like you would a mechanic, or doctor, or barista.

          Sometimes I do. We have great healthcare. Can send a couple pics of a scrape like that and they note it incase anything happens which pretty much is never. And we can count the topical we buy or have delivered against the deductible.

          It helps get the system down pat and shows our kid how to use it incase they have bigger questions for their doctor later or need to take care of a more serious problem without us.
