As much as we want to be seen as healthy and sane, we may need to see a therapist and share some of our worries.
Most of the reasons why therapists are important are because we can vent about things with them, and they also have answers to most of our worries since they have studied to understand how our minds work.
Seeing a therapist is a healthy activity for anyone and in no way signifies that you are not sane or healthy. So, do you think you need to see a therapist? Take our ‘Should I see a therapist?’ quiz and find out now.
