I recently posted some videos of actors, writers, directors, and other people working in creative fields discussing what they found beneficial about being in therapy. Here psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr Chris Heath lists some compelling reasons why it is a good idea to undergo psychotherapy. The list of reasons is not exhaustive by any means, but is a good start. Some of the reasons include: improving performance and overcoming shame and doubt, respecting yourself more, being listened to in ways others do not listen to you and learning to listen to yourself better, personal growth, and having a safe space for yourself in which you can say whatever you want to.

Therapy is not just when you're having problems. How about optimizing your performance? Here's 5 good reasons.
