    Therapy is really a kind of self-reflective medicine; the more you give to it the more you get out of it. I think people often think the therapist is there to “cure” them of a disease like a doctor. But in fact, they were there for the patient to see their own troubles and discover their best means to manage them.

    My point is that just because therapy may not instantly provide a cure doesn’t mean it isn’t worth it. I think most people today could use that kind of help and need someone they can talk with openly about almost anything. Don’t knock it - it’s a great resource that really can turn your life around for the better.

      Right. Therapy is a process, not an instant cure.
