The problems that bring a person to a therapist's office are very diverse. It can be difficulty making a choice and making a decision, emotional disorders (neurosis, anxiety, phobic and panic disorders, depression, obsessive states, social phobia), experiencing crisis and grief. Nevertheless, many are afraid to go to a specialist of this profile and delay seeking help.
“The condition is not yet serious enough to go to a therapist.”
Often, a person believes that in order to go to a “shrink”, his psychoemotional state must become unbearable, and prefers to try to cope on his own.
In any person's life, there may be a situation where “I can handle myself" does not work. If we are talking about a serious psychological problem, then the expectation of oneself to “get out on their own” most often indicates excessive demands on oneself and hypercontrol. All people need help at one time or another.

“Only psychos turn to a therapist”
This belief is based on a lack of understanding and lack of psychological literacy and basic knowledge in the field of mental problems among the majority of the population, labeling and treating mentally ill people. Today, although these problems are no longer so acute and are gradually receding into the background, the fear of “getting branded” is becoming a serious obstacle to getting help.
It should be understood that information about the patient's problems and condition received by a psychotherapist during consultations and therapy is confidential and remains only between the patient and the specialist to whom it was entrusted. Psychotherapists are approached both for issues of mental illness and for problems of a purely psychological nature.

“It's just that people have nothing to do abroad, that's why everyone goes to psychologists and psychotherapists there.”
WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just as the absence of any body problems. The psychological and mental well-being of an individual is just as important, as it significantly affects the quality and standard of living of an individual, his ability to develop and realize his potential, as well as his physical health. A lot of attention is paid to a person's mental state abroad, and this area is actively developing.
Psychological, psychotherapeutic and psychiatric education of the population, comprehensive research, inclusion in medical insurance, continuous development – this is what modern domestic psychotherapy should move towards.

“It's very expensive”
Studies have shown that psychotherapy in the treatment of psychoemotional disorders is more profitable for money than permanent drug treatment of exacerbations of such a disorder.

“Psychotherapy takes too long”
Psychotherapy is more of an intensive course. The duration of psychotherapy is usually determined individually, depending on the nature of the problem and the direction of psychotherapy. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy, one of the most effective, is considered short-term, with an average course of 10-15 sessions.
In other cases, the time frame may be longer. The time frame and frequency of meetings are coordinated with the therapist.

“It's scary to hear something bad about your mental state”
Ignorance about any disorders and diseases in the body and in the psyche does not eliminate these disorders and diseases, as well as their negative consequences. It is better to be examined and know than to live in ignorance.
In general, it is really very interesting to learn and explore yourself. A psychotherapist is like a researcher-discoverer, but he will discover only what a person decides to discover in himself. And if the therapist finds any problems in this process, the patient will know exactly what needs to be corrected and will understand what needs to be done. In fact, getting psychotherapeutic help is just as natural as going to any other doctor with any other problem.

“Psychotherapy is something incomprehensible”
Psychotherapy is the use of psychological influence methods to improve a person's psychological well–being.

“Psychotherapy is unlikely to help”
Without trying it in practice, it is difficult to determine whether it will help or not. There are many psychotherapeutic approaches. If a person is ready and really wants to get help, then they will find it. Psychotherapy is one of the most effective ways that can help to “fix” life and make it better.
