answer:I’m pretty sure that most people who go to therapy occasionally feel like their problems are petty and they should be able to handle them on their own. I’ve been trying to cut down on seeing my therapist to just once a month instead of once a week, partly out of such feelings. That said, I am also pretty sure that most people could do with some therapy from time to time. I’ve never done couples’ therapy, but I’ve seen a number of therapists through my life. I think the best advice I can give you is to shop around and remember that you are the client; you are paying to receive a service. Call different therapists and ask them what their philosophy is, what kinds of approaches and methods they use and ask them to explain what the terms mean if you don’t know. Don’t be afraid to try one out once or twice and then decide that they are not for you, and then hunt for other referrals. I spent far too long (and far too much money) visiting a therapist who was absolutely awful, because I was just grateful that someone was listening to me at all. But after that, I lucked out and found a wonderful therapist who has been very helpful.
