You Don’t Need to Wait Until Rock Bottom
Many people think therapy is only for when life feels unbearable. But the truth is, therapy can help at any stage—whether you’re dealing with a crisis or just feeling “off” and wanting extra support. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to reach out, here are five signs to look for.
1. You’re Feeling Overwhelmed
If daily stress feels like too much to handle, or small challenges suddenly feel huge, therapy can help you find tools to manage and regain balance.
2. You’re Stuck in the Same Patterns
Do you find yourself repeating the same cycles—whether it’s with relationships, work, or self-criticism? Therapy can help you understand why and find new ways forward.
3. Your Relationships Are Strained
If conflict, distance, or disconnection are showing up in your closest relationships, it might be time to explore what’s underneath with the support of a therapist.
4. Anxiety or Low Mood Keeps Hanging Around
Occasional stress and sadness are normal—but if anxiety or low mood lingers, therapy offers space to process and find strategies for relief.
5. You’ve Been Through a Major Life Change
Transitions—like becoming a parent, moving, changing jobs, or experiencing loss—can stir up big emotions. Therapy gives you support during these shifts so you don’t feel alone.
Taking the First Step
Therapy isn’t about being “broken”—it’s about caring for yourself and having space to grow. You don’t need to wait until things get worse to get help.
