Personally I’ve only been to a therapist once - got access to an online cbt program that ended up being of more help than she was (which wasn’t a whole lot).
Mostly just me talking, highlighting this and that. Her advice basically boiled down to needing to learn to be happy with where I am in life, setting lower ambitions and talking more to people around me.
Kinda rubbed me the wrong way because I specifically mentioned cause and effect with procrastinating on certain things and ended up being increasingly unhappy/distressed because of that - noting that I’d like advice on how to better align my actions with my goals (not vice versa).
I’m still a young guy and yeah there’s things I’d like to achieve in life. Not exactly revolutionary stuff, just basic human life goal shit: finishing my education, getting a job, owning a home, finding love y’know.

This book was of help to me.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a look. Seems like it’s available for reading at archive.org
You can find it on annas-archive as well
