Hi, I am considering making an appointment with a therapist to discuss mental health, and my question is this: how do you know that your case is severe enough to warrant a therapist’s time? I’ve never been diagnosed with any mental health illnesses but I think it could be something that benefits me. A little advice would be appreciated. Thank you

It doesn't have to be severe to benefit from a therapist's time. I've helped people stick to a "productive" morning routine. I've helped people back off of suicidal ideation. I promise the therapist isn't gonna be like "this idiot came to me to help them choose between light and dark roast".

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
