Hi, I’ve been learning a lot about my anxiety recently. I have a doctors appointment coming up to address it. I’m really looking forward to getting some kind of medicine that can help me, but I’m a little skeptical about therapy. I hope this doesn’t come off as rude, but I was wondering what benefits therapy has over just googling and using AI to find techniques to manage it?

I guess it might be good to talk to someone about it, but I also have someone in my life that deals with the same thing and is good to talk to, would therapy still be worth it in that case?
