Does therapy really work?

The right therapist using the right method can absolutely work, I’ve made huge strides with my social anxiety through cognitive behavioral therapy. You also have to put the work in for it to be effective - it’s all about practice

First therapist traumatized me. I suggest you be careful about what you share the first meeting. Make sure you don't get one that is religious if you aren't.

it only helps if you let it

I believe that therapy helps if you have the right therapist, not every therapist is going to be right for you, my first therapist was not helpful to me at all but my current one is great.

I really helped me but my sister and brother have been in it longer and think it's useless
