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.
