We all need help at some time in our lives. You couldn't possibly do everything on your own. Some of us are in the unfortunate position of not getting support that is helpful to us from the people in our lives.

I would just say that not all modes of therapy and not all therapists are good for all people. So evaluate as you go and ask questions.

I would recommend writing down your goals and expectations, then sharing them with the counselor/therapist. Also make note (some kind of journal, or daily point notes on your phone, or whatever works for you) of where you are at now and how you are feeling. The important point is to not later rely on your memory or changing feelings. Set a time frame for some kind of progress or movement. If it doesn't seem to be happening after that time, raise the issue with whatever person you are working with. If you don't get adaptation, start looking elsewhere for someone who can help you better.

Best of luck!
