It depends on the therapist and it depends on you. I had one therapist after my mom died, for grief, and she was terrible! She would roll her eyes at me, etc. I was just a kid!
But other therapists have really helped me. My old psychologist was wonderful. She used to actually listen to me and trust what I was saying. She wasn't one of those "happy puppy rainbow people," (if you just think of happy puppy rainbows all the troubles go away!) Sometimes just having a logical, objective person listen to you and believe in what you say, and give you practical advice is amazingly helpful.
