Do i need therapy ?
It's been a while since I've been feeling low - maybe a year or so. I've tried therapy twice but quit after 2 sessions each specifically because of the following reasons :-
# Being an introvert , it gets really awkward talking about personal life to an unknown person .
# I feel it's useless. Even though I know it is certainty not useless but i just can't see it helping me .
HOW DO I KNOW IF I ACTUALLY NEED THERAPY OR IS IT JUST A ROUGH PHASE ?

Hi,
If you are FEELING LOW , there must be something in your life, in your mind which is causing low mood.
ANYTHING NEEDS PROPER TREATMENT IF IT STARTS AFFECTING ONE,S DAILY LIFE.
Causes can be extrinsic or intrinsic factors in your life.
YOU NEED THERAPY OR NOT
If you are capable of handling your situation on your own , then its ok , but if it is affecting your daily life activities then you definitely need to vent out .
Talking to someone about what you are going through CAN HELP RESOLVE YOUR LOW FEELINGS.
A doctor will be able to give you a practical advice ABOUT DEALING WITH LOW MOOD.
This is a common feeling like disclosing personal life before a stranger, but a good therapist will
# understand your discomforts and help you work through your problem s.
# once you align properly with therapist , all becomes so easy.
# all therapist s are trained to keep your information confidential.
BUT TRUST ME DISCUSSING THINGS WILL LEAD YOU TO ILLUMINATING INSIGHTS.
Next Steps
you need therapy if
# your eating , sleeping habits have changed
# you no longer enjoy things that you previously used to.
# your social life is deteriorating
# your family life getting affected
# your professional life is getting affected
# no motivation to do work , live life
then please contact someone.

Hello user
If you are feeling low for a year, better you can consult with a Psychologist and just explain about your situation.
Cognitive behaviour therapy will help to relieve from your problem.
In initial stage, it may be difficult to open up your issues, so it will take some time. Once the rapport developed between you and your therapist, then you can take the therapy sessions consistently and can overcome your issues.
Don't worry, be positive. Good luck.

Some people are under the misapprehension that therapy is for wusses. Psychotherapy is a tool that creates success. Smart people use it.” And therapy is not just something that smart people use, it’s something that most everybody should probably try during at least some point in their lives.
Next Steps
If you need a permanent cure from your condition, it will take time. Contact me for further assistance.
Health Tips
Psychotherapy can help people cope with a wide range of experiences. Anyone can enjoy the benefits of therapy, whether you want to set life goals or establish healthy relationships. You don’t need to be in a debilitating crisis to get support.
