The American Psychological Association suggests you consider a time to see a therapist when something causes distress and interferes with some part of life, for example:
- Thinking about or coping with the issues takes up at least an hour each day
- The issue causes embarrassment or makes you want to avoid others
- The issue has caused your quality of life to decrease
- The issue has negatively affected school, work, or relationships
- You’ve made changes in your life or developed habits to cope with the issue
