          Absolutely, but its well worth the cost. You improve your own life and the lives of all of the people you interact with since you’re not projecting your trauma or having them bear the weight of your mental ill health as much.

          It isn’t a cost that everyone can afford and that’s okay, but it should be high on pretty much everybody’s list of “things to get”.

      Not everyone can afford to spend 60-70 EUR each week plus driving and 1.5h to see a shrink. And those who can’t afford that are usually the ones who need therapy the most.

        You don’t have to go every week necessarily, though for some people that might be beneficial. I personally only see my therapist for 1 hour every month. Therefore, it only costs me 80 USD (≈74 EUR) per month.
