I will say that as much as I'm the type of person who thinks I can learn it on my own as well, I've found that going to a counselor has been beneficial for me. It's nice to get feedback from an 'independent' person and also someone else to share your story with. I never thought of myself as the type of person to ever go to a counselor (of course, I never thought I'd be in this situation either). I would recommend it.
