I highly recommend mental health therapy throughout life. It is perfectly natural and normal for us to "man up" "grow some balls" and shrug off traumas and get on. With life, but just as ignoring an injury or medical condition can lead to compensations and complications further along, so it is with mental issues. A good therapist can draw out connections between past trauma and present issues Today I released a mental and emotional knot that had been undisclosed in over fifty years.
