Everyone is different, and has unique problems, but many people don’t seek therapy until things have become so unmanageable that they can no longer function properly. It’s not really that long ago that psychotherapy and counselling were viewed as something that should be kept a secret. Misconceptions flourish about what it means to talk to a mental health professional.

Not everyone who comes to therapy has "an issue". Some are just curious to understand themselves better, and therapy is very useful in this case. It guides us towards the feelings. Feelings are important for a number of reasons, one of which is that they are information for us. Dealing effectively with emotions requires work and naming our emotion, what is an important first step in dealing with them effectively. But it’s harder than it sounds; many of us struggle to identify what exactly we are feeling.
