I'm curious, would you mind sharing how a therapist helped you? I'm in a similar (but not the same) space mentally, and put everything down to environmental issues (high pressure job, etc) and disregard the thought that a therapist could help with this (unless they had a time machine, etc).

therapy helps you develop efficient thinking ime. This is evaluating your emotions without added judgement, addressing problems without the added emotional burden of shame, and rapidly and genuinely accepting things (like past harm) that can’t be inherently changed without the added agony of fighting yourself over it
