[mothered]

Mothered is right. Often therapists aren't viewed in the best light, but this is one of those situations a therapist has pursued their career for - To help people who need it.

My post Is based on the feedback of those physically around me, who did attend consultations with a therapist/psychologist.

With the exception of one, all said they've benefited (to some degree) after only a handful sessions. When some people hear the terms "therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist", their first thought Is they're suited to those with some sort of mental Instability. Nothing could be further from the truth.
