Let’s clear this one up once and for all: you do not need to wait for a breakdown, heartbreak, or major life event to start therapy. In fact, therapy can be most beneficial when you’re in a place of relative stability and looking to build tools for long-term growth.
Therapy helps you understand your thoughts, patterns, and behaviors—before they escalate. It can support your relationships, guide your personal development, and serve as a space for unpacking the everyday stresses of life. Think of it less as a last resort and more as a proactive form of self-care, like going to the gym or seeing your doctor for an annual check-up.
