There's no such thing as wasting a therapist's time unless you're refusing to speak.

If you go into a therapy session and just sit there and stare at the wall the entire time without saying a word, that is wasting a therapist's time. And yours as well. But if you go in there and actually talk, regardless of what you're talking about, a good therapist can get something meaningful out of it and help you with your issue.

If you think you might need help, no harm in trying it. Better you get help and not need it, than need help and not get it.
