Im my mind, therapy is a remedy to a problem after its diagnosis. If you don't have a problem, you don't do/need therapy. If you do have a problem, start by getting it properly diagnosed by a professional in the area (mental health, physiology, ... any area in which people run to a therapist first thing). Anything else is upside down and potentially a huge waste of time and/or money or worse, possibly without even realizing it.

Identifying that you have a problem is sometimes challenging and you might have deeper problems and behaviors that are not immediately visible.

Another thing to consider is “preventative” vs “diagnostic” therapy.
