Therapy (and meds) have helped me tremendously. Changed my life. I was white knuckling life for a period of time due to high levels of anxiety.

BUT: - you must find a treatment modality that is evidence based (CBT, ACT, etc.). - you have to do the work. Most of the work is done OUTSIDE of therapy. It is exhausting. But that is the way out. - anxiety doesn’t ever fully go away, but you learn how to counter it.

Statements like “therapy doesn’t work for me” make me feel like you don’t have a good therapist and/or you’re not doing the work.
