Parents are likely to seek therapy for the obvious reasons of their child experiencing difficulties at home and school. Therapy is often a last resort after many ideas are applied. In the busyness of life, we all grow up thinking we must keep going. If the symptoms are NOT screaming at us, then we are fine. Therapy is for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mental illness like bipolar disorder, grief, anger issues, behavioral challenges, dysregulation with emotions, self-harm, etc. These are valid reasons to come to therapy, but they are not the only reasons to start going to therapy...
