Do therapist actually help?

Question

I have a lot that needs to be fixed... I am one big broken cookie and have been told many times therapy is my answer buuuttt just knowing myself, I don’t think they would be able to get in my mind and solve anything. I really don’t, I can’t see anyone being able to change anything. So is it even worth the time and money?

Answer

A therapist can only help if you want them to. 
You have to go in with the mindset that they will help. They are there to help. 
And depending on the level of your brokenness, they can help get you the medication needed to make you feel like you can be fixed.

Answer

With this mindset it won’t work. You have to be open to it. But yes. It does work. I take meds as well and those have helped tremendously.

Answer

Absolutely if you're willing to do the work. I tell all my clients, "I'm not willing to work than you are on your goals." My experience is that people are pleasantly surprised at how much it helps. 
Take that with a grain if salt though; I'm very specialized in treatment of PTSD and most of my clients are male first responders who think feelings are dumb.

Answer

If you are not open to change, then it wont work. You must be an active participant. Look into CBT therapy, maybe something more active will help you will then talk therapy. At least in the beginning

Answer

Yes. Even if you go through a few to find the right one. It also helps to really be ready to face those problems and change. Good luck!
