The Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung once stated, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.” We all get sad, angry, and distressed sometimes. These are normal, human emotions that for the most part we’ve learned to regulate and cope with throughout our lives.
But sometimes we can get overwhelmed. Sometimes our usual strategies for dealing with difficult emotions fall apart. We might not have the time or the bandwidth to fully process an event, leaving us with feelings of trauma. Or we might find that our feelings of depression are interfering with our daily functioning. At these times, it’s helpful to reach out to a mental health professional who has the insights to lead us to the other side of our distress.

When Should I See a Counselor or Therapist?
