&gt; It’s taken me a few weeks to write this post. Not that I was really afraid of putting myself out there, but that I needed to write it in such a way that it wouldn&#x27;t scare people or make them worried.<p>This really is a major part, if not the biggest part, of the stigma associated with therapy now.  It&#x27;s hard to get mental help without it being a Big Deal.  Which is stupid because everyone should go to therapy.<p>Therapy is great.  It&#x27;s like strength training for the mind.  You don&#x27;t have to have some kind of specific reason to go, you don&#x27;t need to talk about that remark your parents made when you were 11, you don&#x27;t need to be crazy.  It just gives you a toolkit for understanding and dealing with every day emotions.  It is expensive, but if you are an engineer you likely have a medical plan that covers some kind of mental health.  Do yourself a favor and check, seriously the best decision I&#x27;ve ever made was going to therapy.
