The common misconception for individuals today is that therapy is to be used as a last resort when you have found yourself unable to navigate current life difficulties. However, there is nothing wrong with seeking the support of a therapist before life’s challenges become consuming. Meeting with a therapist when you find yourself stressed does not mean you are incapable of handling your problems, but rather that you have the self-awareness to understand when it may benefit to have some extra support. Meeting with a therapist on an ongoing basis can provide long-lasting benefits, such as the ability to overcome challenges, reduce stress, and improve your overall quality of life.
