Also remember: You don't fix the roof in the middle of a storm. Don't wait for the bad times to try and fix the issues.
At the same time, I'm not sure its a panacea or miracle. I'm pretty skeptical but have never been convinced that merely talking about things, framing things, journaling and all that helps a large number of issues. Its like a chiropractor, some people will feel 1% better after and as long as you keep going every week.

I remember thinking it would be this miracle before the first sessions but it was like I kinda felt worse because they are drumming up stuff and peeling off scabs, ending up minimally better. $200/hour after the whopping $500 insurance coverage, the value proposition is quite diminishing.

And there are some big things they really can't help with. You can't journal away pancreatic cancer or some horrible ailment or a gun to your head unless its your own hand holding it.
