I recently saw a clip online that cited therapy as expensive. What exactly do you get for the price though? If you view the fee as paying for the price of an hour of therapy, then yes, it is expensive. However, I have never heard of anyone paying a therapist to get therapy, as though it were a commodity that you pick up in a can off of a grocery shelf. Rather, you pay for that hour with the therapist to:

  1. Get peace of mind
  2. Gain clarity and insight about your life
  3. Become happier 
  4. Save your marriage
  5. Save your child/children/family
  6. Find yourself
  7. Understand why you keep attracting the wrong type of people
  8. Learn how to attract the type of people you want to be close to
  9. Build self confidence
  10. Grow your career
  11. Learn how to control your anger
  12. Stop hurting those who love you
  13. Overcome grief
  14. Get over a breakup
  15. Become a better relationship partner
  16. Figure ‘things’ out
  17. Get ‘real’ – hear what nobody else wants to tell you about yourself 
  18. Face your fears
  19. ‘Pick up the pieces’ after a devastating event in your life
  20. Be a better parent
  21. Be a better son/daughter
  22. Be a better student
  23. Become a more sensitive manager
  24. Understand your boss better
  25. Get along better with your coworkers
  26. Help you ‘fit in’
  27. Overcome depression
  28. Overcome anxiety
  29. Learn how to think before you jump
  30. Be a better you

I stopped at 30. What price would you be willing to pay for any of the above?
