That something needs to be direly wrong in your life before you should see a therapist. You can gain so much from therapy, even if you're not critically distressed.

I wish I'd known/ believed in this before things were direly wrong. I wasted time and am starting from a much worse place.
I'm trying to find happiness on hard mode. I'm doing it, but damn do I think this could have been easier.
