Therapy takes work. A lot of work. You can’t just show up. And you might have to shop around and test drive a few therapists until you find the one that’s right for you. I’ve had some really good therapists, and some whose gifts lie elsewhere.

Ultimately if you don’t want to be there, I’d say don’t go. You won’t benefit. That is different from being in therapy and having a one-time episode of not wanting to go (I wanted to bail today, but instead I went and we talked about why I wanted to bail - because I was super mad at him).

Therapy is also expensive, so invest wisely.
