I can understand that. I felt the same way when I started with this new therapist. The other times I started therapy I was pretty bad...seriously depressed with a lot of suicidal ideation. This time I'm not nearly that sick, and I kind of felt bad about that, like I shouldn't be there. But I decided that maybe it's enough that I *want* therapy, because *need* is pretty hard to define.
And maybe getting therapy when we aren't at our "worst" wil help us develop more resilience and keep us from getting there again. Besides, therapists need jobs too. So we are helping keep them employed
