hi Deneb,
I think there is a difference between NEEDING therapy and WANTING therapy. Solving problems alone can be hard. Sometimes it's nice to have a helping hand, esp. if the problems deal with depression, mood swings, behavior issues, etc.I don't think therapy is a magic cure-all, and neither are drugs. Most people probably need a combination of both, AND need to work hard at it too, to improve.
I don't think therapy "works" unless the person doing it is really dedicated to the process, really wants to be there, and really feels a desire to be there. So unless you're at that point, therapy might not be all that effective...
Why do you feel so much that you need to do it on your own without help? Is there some part of you that feels that it's "wrong" or weak to see a T? (I'm just asking b/c it's something I myself worry about - I put myself down, even though I don't put others down for doing it! Weird double standard, huh?)
