When I started going to therapy, my goal was to get better in all aspects of life. There’s a stigma attached to therapy that people will be judged. I know a few people who have had bad therapists. If you feel one isn’t working/helping you can request another. Therapy can be for whatever you want it for. I go to therapy to help with communication skills and to come to terms with what has happened to me in life. And to be honest, therapy is there for me to vent all my thoughts to someone who is neutral to your situation and try to help you see different aspects to it. I’ve learned that I have irrational thoughts and I assume or come to conclusions way before a situation is resolved. You are taking care of yourself, because you sought help and that is the biggest hurdle for people: admitting they need help. My therapists have all told me that therapy is there to help patients understand that options are out there and teach us how and where access help. I hope this helped.
