I think my main point is that therapy can be thought of as a performance enhancement, not just a repair. I know a ton of people who get along just fine without it, but could be a lot more effective both in their relationships and their work, if they had the same basic toolkit that I do to deal with emotions. Even in a highly functioning adult, if you haven't been to therapy I bet there is a fair amount of low hanging fruit.
