I don't believe that therapy is always the answer.

Most of the time when an ex-therapy client says someone thing like "I find it better now that I am not in therapy" people misconstrue that as the ex-client not facing up to their issues, or trying to bury their issues.

However, for some people, therapy doesn't help. In fact not only does it 'not help' it can make things worse.
Also, some people are better off having CBT instead of therapies that involve talking at great length about their past.

I also think that many people stay in therapy for longer than necessary because they don't have any support networks or because they like their T and don't want to leave. I believe that this can make a client feel worse about their past traumas because the T ( and therefore the client) talks about the trauma as expected in therapy, therefore keeping it in the clients mind and struggling to move on and put it behind them.

Of course, this is just my opinion and I don't have anything to back it up...yet.
