Does Therapy Really Work?

Not Quite Zen

If you've ever struggled with mental health, then you've probably questioned whether therapy really works at least once or twice. My name is Tony Hardman, and I’m a regular guy (not a therapist) who has dealt with depression, anxiety, anger, and a host of other issues throughout my life.

I've been in and out of therapy since I was a teenager, so by the time I was in my thirties, I really started to question whether or not I would ever get better. One day when I was feeling defeated, I asked my therapist, “does therapy actually work, or am I going to have problems forever?” Her response was basically, “yes, it works, and I know it works because it worked for me.”

At the time, I was satisfied with her answer, but I also took it with a grain of salt because I thought, "of course she believes it works, she's a therapist."

Look, therapists are amazing, but most therapists won't share a lot about themselves with you. Finding someone else to relate to can be really hard. So, before I answer the question, "does therapy really work," I want to share my journey with you so that you know what I overcame.
