Most of the people I know are in therapy, and those who aren't should do it. Therapy is the one time a week that you can just let your emotions out and not feel ashamed, and have someone help you see things from a different angle. Folks who don't get that chance either rely on their friends to trauma dump or bottle it all up.
Is it common to do it weekly? I always did it monthly because the copays add up.
weekly is common starting off, sometimes every two weeks - some therapists move to less frequent meetings once things have stabilized or just for check-ins on progress
