After writing this reply I feel like I should point out firstly, that this is not in offense to the parent comment. He/she did it right and I just wanted to add/share my own experience.

I completely agree, but this is easier said than done. The emphasis is on RIGHT therapist. There aren't necessarily good and bad therapists, but ones an individual can work with. Finding those is very difficult and time consuming. I'm not sure if pointing this out is doing more harm than good, but it's certainly true. This is something I was affected with. People told me to go to the therapist as if it was that easy to solve a problem. Like, therapists are doctors for you mind. I went there with no prior knowledge or expertise on how a therapy works and after 7 weeks I was utterly disappointed and lost. What I (wrongfully) concluded, was, that therapy doesn't work for me. That therapy was for worse cases than me. That I didn't fit the system. Surely this is my own fault for not having a problem oriented mindset towards therapy, but in the end, it's not about whose fault it is. It's about helping people. So, after all of this I sometimes think we should at least imply that there is more nuance and effort to this approach (that is, visiting a therapist).

I fully agree, you said it well. It can be very hard to find the right therapist, and it’s not like going to the doctor. Anyone who says that it’s like that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s a longer and less straightforward process, and the patient needs to know that they are in the driver’s seat. But when you find the right therapist, it can be a catalyst that greatly improves your ability to heal fast.
