How does therapy help mental health issues or mental illness?

622 viewsOther

How does talking to a professional about your problems help you in any way? I’ve been in and out of therapy for years and I simply don’t find any use in it. I just tell the therapist about my emotions and my life, they try to be understanding and offer some very basic advice I already knew about. Why is therapy often recommended more than medication and thought of as a better solution when it’s literally just normal discussion that can’t change brain chemistry?

It helps to talk to people about what you’re feeling.

It helps,also, to speak with people who are not associated with you’re situation.

It helps to speak with people who are not associated with your situation who have a skillset to provide real objective advice and solutions to help you.

All three of these options are incredibly valuable.
