Do therapists actually work/help?

    I have never been a huge proponent of the-rapists for most of my life, but they can help with lots of problems. Honestly, I don't think it is them that help so much as it is you finally getting things off your chest in a safe environment. Also, they can teach a lot of awesome coping mechanisms which have been scientifically proven to help. So I say yes. And getting help sooner rather than later is best. There is never shame in getting help, even if you don't think you're that bad off. #longpostsorry

    They work as well as you want them to. You have to want them to work and find someone who meshes with you

    You have to be ready to let them help. Their job is almost always to get you to accept yourself, though sometimes this involves changing some of your behaviors. If you have a self loathing so strong that it is the central point of your identity, you may not benefit much from outside help like a therapist until you make a little progress with yourself.
