More of us than ever are seeking help for mental health issues, be it for anxiety or depression, OCD or following a difficult life event, such as a bereavement. But how do you know what the right treatment for
you looks like, especially when you re in the midst of a dark cloud?
Remember, no matter what route you take, that sadly therapists don’t have a magic wand and it s important to approach therapy with a willingness to work if you want to see the best results. Timing is important too – go because
you want to, not because someone else has told you that you should. While it may feel daunting taking that first step, writing notes before reaching out to a potential therapist can be helpful too.
