Anxiety and difficulty staying sober stably from an addiction. None of my Ts were helpful with those things at all, in terms of the addiction I actually educated them on some methods of treatment that they had no clue about. Eventually I resolved the addiction on my own and using other resources and my anxiety also improved significantly with sustained sobriety and with acquiring better discipline in general. I've learned some small things from my therapy but did not continue because it wasn't useful with anything significantly enough to be worth the money. I don't currently have any mental health issues that would require professional treatment and also can't easily foresee what I would ever go to therapy for in the future. I can more easily think of what I would potentially see a psychiatrist for and take medication (even though I don't currently have anything that would warrant it) but I really doubt talk therapy would do anything for me. I talk with friends and colleagues a lot about mental health and they tend to be much more knowledgable and supportive than pure psychotherapists I have encountered.
