Just be careful with a therapist. I have bad experience. Once we went into a family therapy and an otherwise good therapist exhibited non-chalance and insensitivity by comparing a hospital and a hotel. Next day, in the middle of an awful mixed episode, my then husband drove me to a hospital. I walked into the ER, looked around, did not like it, exited, looked at the shining sun, and decided that I would manage by myself. I was clearly under the influence of her denigrating remark about the hospital. Next day, I committed a massive suicide attempt. Clearly, had I checked myself in to inpatient, I would have stayed out of trouble. The next family therapist - a very expensive and experienced one - turned out to be a militant feminist with her own agenda. She put an end to my marriage when it was fragile but still alive.
