i think it would all depend on the therapist, your relationship with them, what type of therapy they do, etc. and of course the trust you build with them.

there are always pros and cons though.

it could take a while to find one you click with, so that is a con.

pros are you could find a really good one who can help kind of help you sort through what you are wanting to sort through.

i see a psychiatrist who does therapy as well, but when i saw her too much in the past it seemed to kind of keep me in that mindset where things came up more for me..it wasn't because i was going over trauma or anything though...i guess at that time for me, i was experiencing a high degree of symptoms almost daily, so if that is something you are experiencing, it could be a pro so you can be monitored a bit more if you need it.

so, it really comes down to what you feel you need from a therapist and what you feel you need to work on and finding one that works well.
