I don't have those things either, and I go to therapy. There are many reasons for going to therapy. You don't have to have a mental disorder. I was just talking about this with my T last session. We were talking about insurance because starting a few months ago, I might be able to get partial reimbursement from insurance for T's services, whereas I have never been able to before. But I'm not going to submit claims as I feel that would be a bit dishonest. I would have to have a medical condition in order to submit claims to insurance, and I don't.

Therapy can be about helping a person achieve their full potential in many areas of life, helping a person break dysfunctional patterns, helping a person learn to speak up to others or to recognize and express feelings, or helping a person learn to have successful relationships or to connect with another person. None of these things are necessarily pathological. Suratji, it's OK to not have a disorder and be in therapy.
