Excellent move: A good therapist is a competent friend who will put you at ease as you look at things about your life and thinking that are uncomfortable. You'll get the courage and insight to learn new behaviors and attitudes. Avoid therapists who urge you to place blame or be angry; embrace those who will help you understand your past while you move to a brighter future. Work hard, be brave!

Psychotherapy: This depends on the type of therapist you see and the therapy you need. Overall, a good therapist cares about you, yet maintains professional boundaries so you can feel safe telling whatever you need to. This differs from being a friend, since only your issues are being discussed. Also s/he is skilled at working with pain compassionately, allowing you both space to process and support as needed.
