I think it's pretty good to talk to a therapist when switching careers, I know people who benefited greatly from talking it through.
But, I don't think a dislike of tech work today would need to be an internal issue. Tech had other issues before that are kind of resolved and at the same time new problems have evolved that might not be apparent to all frogs in the water.
The biggest overall problem I see for a life in tech is that constant information has created constant competition to integrate popular ideas into the work place. There are therefore a lot of places that have exactly the same things, and popular things rarely live up to the label, which can be fine, but some can be major irritants.
Of course, there are some places that make a point of being stubborn about keeping a difference, but I'm less likely to estimate in years or decades when an organization claims it is sticking to an unpopular direction than I was in say 2000.
So increasingly, I think there is less choice about many of the factors that go into an office job in a place that prides itself on tech. For all the talk of diversity, there's a lot more one size fits all.
