How does therapy help mental health issues or mental illness?

596 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?

Your computer can self-troubleshoot certain very simple problems. When a problem runs deeper and involves the computer’s own troubleshooting software, that may not be as reliable, and so it may be time to call IT.
