How would you cope with asking a mental health professional for help if you had an inherent distrust of people, specifically people who claim to have you all “figured out”?

If you have an inherent distrust of people, it may be difficult to ask a mental health professional for help. You may feel like they will not understand or that they will judge you. However, it is important to remember that mental health professionals are trained to help people with mental health difficulties. They will not judge you and they will try to understand your concerns. If you are still worried about talking to a mental health professional, you could ask a friend or family member to come with you for support.
