When Should You Seek Therapy?

Many of you reading this blog may ask yourself: when is the right time for therapy? And this is a good question with an easy answer.


Seek therapy when your way no longer works.
Have the courage to change.


This is certainly no judgement of you, but rather a realistic look at your coping and problem solving skills and whether or not they serve your purpose. You learn, over the course of time and through experiences, how to deal with certain situations should they arise again. But as you mature and change, and your problems mature and change, so must your solutions. Unfortunately, sometimes you just don't know how or where to find the new solution.


Cue Therapist!


Remember- there is courage and strength in asking for help and taking responsibility for your mistakes. There is opportunity and fortune in correcting them.


P.S. As I wrote in a previous post about when to seek Marriage Counseling, the same applies here:
DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!
