For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I remember how uncomfortable and difficult it was for me to start therapy for the first time. It took a few months before I could be fully vulnerable with myself and my therapist, because I was scared to face some aspects of my life. There were times when I wanted to cancel my therapy sessions because I knew that the work would be uncomfortable. But as I continued, I was surprised that despite the discomfort, each session & week brought more understanding and more control over my emotions & life. Therapy is hard work! But it is so, so worth it.
