Do I Need Therapy?

People often write in and ask us if “they really need therapy”, as if there were something wrong with them if they did. Therapy, counseling, or advice is nothing to be afraid of. Think about it. You get advice from your parents, your friends, other family members — the only difference here is that you will be talking to an impartial person. Someone who has nothing vested in the decisions you make. Someone whose only agenda is to help you feel better and make better decisions.

So When Should I Talk To Someone?

Addictions – overeating, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, gambling, or workaholic behaviors

If an addiction to any of these listed items is interfering in your life or your relationships, then you should consider therapy.

Emotional issues – grief, depression, excessive jealousy, anxiety, phobias or panic attacks

Most of us are dealing with some sort of emotional issue that can get in our way. But don’t lose your job or your relationships over them. Deal with them. Get therapy.

Relationships – problems with co-workers, couple or family relationships

Relationships can be intense, and sometimes we make some bad decisions that can affect us for a long time. Work through your relationships with the help of a counselor.

Stress – Difficulty with major life events or other life stressors

Stress affects every part of our lives. We all seem to view stress as just a normal part of life, but too much of it can affect you physically, emotionally, socially etc. Use therapy to aid you in decreasing stress.

Low Self-Esteem- insecure, shy, worthlessness, unhappy with physical looks

You will live your life in fear if you don’t deal with your low self-esteem issues. Get to the root of it with help from a therapist.

Life Changes- illness, parenting, career changes, midlife issues

We all go through certain life changes. It’s a rite of passage. But some of us just have a tough time dealing with certain issues and need a little help. This is often a common time for therapy.

It’s Not Forever

Remember that therapy – especially e-advice services – do not last for years like a lot of traditional therapy. Instead, you keep talking until something “clicks” for you, and then you can do the rest of the work yourself.

The point of creating this site was to help people who needed direction – not intensive psychotherapy. If you are suffering from a mental disorder and need regular psychotherapy and medication – then e-therapy is not for you.

We are a short-term solution to your most pressing life issues. Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do for yourself. Its very difficult for people to ask for help. It shows strength in your character that you have acknowledged a problem and want to fix it. And we want to help you.

So when you’re ready, we are here, and we’ve created a variety of ways to do so:

1. Such as with our free advice column – Ask Girlshrink.

2. Our article directory / blog.

3. Our our ezine Better Choices.

4. Lastly with our core service — Expert Advice/Counseling Sessions. We offer some of the most affordable, comprehensive, and dependable help on the web.
