Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Why do it alone: Seeing a therapist does not mean they will be doing the work for you. They will just make the process easier for you. Why do it alone? An hour a week is not going to do the work for you, it will just give you the tools to overcome your anxiety. It is hard to share your inner most secrets with a stranger, but they have been trained to help people & you will feel better faster!
