Frequently Asked Questions Why see a therapist?
People can be wary of therapy, feeling that if they have a problem they ought to be able to simply talk to their family or friends about it. I believe it is not that simple as our family and friends are very involved with us, and at certain times, or with certain issues, it might be hardest to talk to those we are most involved with, or hardest for those closest to be able to help. A therapist is an outsider who listens objectively, and who enables you to talk uninhibitedly about whatever is on your mind, and to re-evaluate.
