A survey?

I've been thinking..............what are people's experiences with therapists/therapy?

I've never gone that route, mainly because of lack of money. And I've heard that sometimes the experience can be negative.

But have a lot of people here been through some kind of therapy? Has it helped? What advice would you give to anyone thinking of doing it?

It seems like a valid issue to discuss. At any given time there are probably people thinking of getting into it and it would sure be nice to have some pointers.

Anybody got anything to say?
