Decisions

Should I go to therapy?

You do not need a crisis to qualify. If the same problem has survived several honest attempts to think it through alone, that is usually the signal. Selv-a is not therapy and cannot assess you.

What to actually weigh

01

Has it survived your own attempts?

Some things resolve with time and honesty. The ones that come back unchanged after several genuine goes are the ones worth taking to someone trained.

02

What would you want it to change?

Not a diagnosis — an outcome. Sleeping, arguing less, understanding a pattern. Naming it makes the first session useful instead of exploratory.

03

What is in the way?

Cost, time, and the fear of being a person who needs it. All three are worth saying out loud, because two of them have practical answers.

Frequently asked

How do I know if I need therapy?

A common signal is a difficulty that keeps returning in the same shape despite real effort. Only a qualified professional can assess you — Selv-a is a reflection tool, not a clinical service.

What should I bring to a first therapy session?

One concrete situation and what you wish had gone differently. Structured reflection beforehand makes that easier to say, which is most of what a first session needs.
