It's not really about being able to change yourself, it's about wanting to change so much that you're willing to put in the work. When I did it I had to unlearn a bunch of mental habits, but I also had to change my environment and seek things that were outside of what I knew. Therapy would have done nothing for me if I had let the therapist do all the work. I'm my case the work was to find a new way of living that is aligned with who I am and what I want for myself.

When I went in I had some major anxiety problems, and by working with my therapist I was able to identify where those problems came from. I started taking steps to change how I lived so I wasn't as anxious anymore.
