hi and welcome

It sounds like you want your life to be more comfortable in ways that therapy can help you with. Give it a try if it sounds right to you. There are always those who don't 'believe' in it. I mentione to my therapist that my family doesn't "get" therapy or the reasons for therapy. They say take a pill or get over it. My T said "Oh, families often don't 'get' therapy."

You are very aware and articulate and I think you would enjoy the intellectual as well as the emotional facets of therapy.

Therapy is something you do just for you. Your family doesn't even need to know you are in therapy. You can share that with those you feel comfortable sharing it with, or not share it.
