The benefits of therapy can be quite broad. If there is something specific that you are struggling with, targeted therapy can help. If you are feeling stuck in life, or even if you are not sure what you need, therapy can also help. Aside from the emotional benefits, social and physical benefits can also surface. You’ll learn about yourself, work on achieving your goals, have healthier and more fulfilling relationships, have better physical health, recognise potential, understand others better, and learn how to manage things in the future. Even if all you want is a sounding board to talk through a particular issue, therapy can help.
Why not now? Starting therapy might make you feel vulnerable. It means you have to focus on yourself, open up and think about you - anxiety-provoking, right? Therapy is no easy thing, but the rewards are so significant. Working on yourself, becoming aware, processing, reflecting and learning different ways forward - all pouring into yourself. Taking that first step can be the most difficult, but once you're there, you're not alone. There's no better time to start if you've already reached this page.
