Therapy is extremely effective. The reasons why are more debatable - is it just a case of having someone who listens when you talk serving a valuable psychological need to vent, or a therapist offering a differing perspective and advice that helps you understand yourself in ways you otherwise wouldn't? Is it deliberately breaking down psychological blocks, or otherwise trying to reconstruct who you are on a basic level to fix problems you've had for years?

Different therapists tend to approach the process in different ways, and different patients tend to benefit from it in different ways. But it's very true that therapy in general can be extremely helpful, even if you don't think it will.
