As Humans, we face different experiences in different areas of our lives like Relationships, Jobs, Studies, and the list goes on. Some of the experiences in these areas can have an adverse effect on our emotions such that it affects the way in which we perceive & deal with situations & with people who are around us.
Sometimes these effects disappear after a short period of time but there is also a possibility that these effects are causing trouble to you emotionally and mentally on a consistent basis. If you are having/had experiences that are interfering or causing distress in your life, then talk therapy can act as a guide for helping you to navigate through such kinds of situations.
People say that sharing with your family & friends about what you are going through is very useful but sometimes Sharing with your family or even friends about the difficulties that you are facing emotionally becomes tough as there is a high chance of getting a judgmental kind of response from them.
What Talk Therapy does is that, it allows you to share all the problems that you are facing without the fear of being judged & the therapist then helps you to learn about the potential origin of that feeling & make you aware of it & how to cope with it in a constructive manner thus, giving you a better knowledge about your feelings which can help you to deal with bad experiences in a better way.
Talk Therapy is a support system and not a cure system. It is used to make you more aware of your own emotions/feelings and their potential cause/s such that it enables you to know yourself in a better way.
If you are opting for Talk Therapy, you can't expect the therapist to just use a Magic Wand to make your troubles disappear, you as an individual also needs to put in equal efforts during the therapy sessions for achieving desired outcomes.
It is completely fine & normal to seek therapy as it helps you to get better at dealing with things that are troubling you.
