How to tell if therapy might be helpful for you…

There’s no universal checklist for deciding whether therapy is “right” for you—but there are some gentle signs that having support could be meaningful.

You might consider therapy if:

1. You feel emotionally tired more often than not

2. You keep having the same arguments, thoughts, or reactions

3. You feel disconnected from yourself or others

4. You’re carrying something you don’t talk about

5. You’ve tried to handle it on your own and feel stuck

6. You want to understand why you react the way you do
   

   None of these means something is wrong with you. They mean you’re human.

Therapy doesn’t rush your process

A common fear is that therapy will push you to talk about things before you’re ready.

Good therapy moves at your pace.

You decide what to share.

You get to go slowly.

You are met with curiosity, not pressure.

Sometimes the first few sessions are simply about getting grounded and building trust—and that’s more than enough.

If you’re still unsure, that’s okay

You don’t need certainty to start therapy.

You don’t need all the answers.

Often, the only thing you need is a willingness to explore and get curious about your experience.

At Sacred Start Counseling, I believe healing begins the moment you stop dismissing your inner experience and start honoring it.

If you’re wondering whether therapy might help, that wondering itself is worth listening to.
