So why should I choose therapy?

Look at two ways in which you manage your physical health: a visit to your MD versus working out at a gym. 

You go to the physician to treat a medical problem - you feel symptoms and seek treatment to return to your "normal" state. 

By contrast, you go to the gym to get healthy, achieve a higher physical potential, and generally make a good life better.  Two different approaches to health, once focused on illness and the other wellness.

Therapy is unique in that it acts as the psychological equivalent of both the MD and the gym.  We go to therapy to treat problems as well as improve an already decent life.  

First of all, what is therapy.  Therapy is effective for helping painful experiences become tolerable.

It's a proven method for changing harmful thinking, relational, and behavioral patterns.  But it's also used to make good lives great.
