The most screwed-up people I’ve ever encountered have also been those with the greatest aversion to the very idea of therapy. One, in fact, has a phobia of mental health professionals—for herself and for her children.
That doesn’t mean that I think you’re really screwed up if you are resistant to therapy. It does mean that if you absolutely will not consider therapy despite encouragement to do so from people who know you, you should take a hard look at why that is.
