Is This You? Reasons Young Adults Seek Support

Feeling Like You're "Crazy" for Considering Therapy? Think Again.

How many times have you heard that needing therapy means something's seriously wrong with you? That talking to someone about everyday stress makes you "crazy"? The truth is, seeking support from an understanding therapist isn't about being broken; it's about being smart and proactive during a challenging time. Young adults who choose counseling often find it incredibly helpful to have a supportive, skilled professional guide them through tough seasons.

Wondering Why Other Young Adults Reach Out? Here Are 6 Common Reasons:

  1. Big Life Changes Got You Down? Whether it's a tough breakup, money worries, dealing with a health issue, or the emotions around a new diagnosis, navigating these major events can be overwhelming. Talking to someone can bring clarity and help you find your footing again.
  2. Struggling with Self-Doubt? Feeling insecure, lacking confidence in your choices, or constantly seeking approval can lead to unhealthy behaviors. Therapy can help you build genuine self-esteem, learn to love your unique self, and make choices that truly feel right for you.
  3. Anxiety Taking Over? Constant worries about social situations, fears of things happening to you or loved ones, or flashbacks and intense emotions from past experiences can be exhausting. A therapist can help you manage these anxieties and find more peace.
  4. Dealing with Loss or Grief? Losing someone close, whether a family member or a dear friend, can cause deep pain. Finding a supportive space to process your grief and learn healthy ways to cope and heal is essential.
  5. Feeling Like Nothing Matters? If getting out of bed feels impossible, you've lost interest in things you used to enjoy, or feel a general sense of hopelessness, it's important to reach out. Therapy can help you understand these feelings and find your way back to joy and motivation.
  6. Anger Boiling Over? Feeling constantly frustrated, unappreciated, or overwhelmed by daily pressures from work, family, or the constant barrage of information can lead to anger. Learning healthier ways to manage and express these strong emotions benefits everyone around you.

THINKING THERAPY IS TOO MUCH? THINK AGAIN

Acknowledging that things feel unmanageable is a big first step. Finding a therapist might seem like another hurdle, but most people find that the cost is manageable, and many therapists offer evening and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules.
