the number one indicator that you should see a therapist is thinking “hmm, should I see a therapist?”

I want to make one thing clear that I don’t think a lot of people even realize: you don’t need to be mentally ill to see a therapist. You don’t need to have experienced serious trauma or be deeply unhappy or think your brain is Up To Something in a Major Way to benefit from therapy. If you just want help sorting through your feelings, dealing with heartbreak, or venting your fears about the future, you can talk to a therapist! It’s allowed! It’s encouraged!

Trust me, therapists don’t mind if you come in like “okay, I have some stuff I wanna talk about”.
