Maybe for some people, in some subsets of culture. Where I come from, a therapist is someone you have to lie to about your drinking problem so the judge will let you see your kids.
I'll sing therapy's praises all day long, but I can only loosely speculate as to why a therapist might be necessary or how the process acts as a catalyst for life changes. All I know is I tried to make all the same changes without a therapist many times without much success. Again, gift horses and mouths.
