Honestly , everyone should try seeing a therapist . Even if you don ' t need therapy , it ' s pretty dope . An old employer covered 4 sessions per year for free with a therapist , like in times of grief or stress , and if I hadn ' t gone by the end of the year , I ' d go see this old dude once a week for that last month just to take advantage of it . It ' s incredible being able to just sit and talk about anything you want for an hour to a person whose job it is to listen to you , rather than talking AT someone while they ' re trying to think of what they can say once you shut up again . They can redirect the conversation when it ' s needed , otherwise , they ' re just there to be there for you . Worst case scenario , you go once and you don ' t think it ' s for you , so you don ' t go again . Give it a try ! Best case scenario , you actually make progress of some kind and you wake up the next day feeling a little better than before .
