If you're not ready then you're not ready, but the important thing is to always give it a try I think! I thought a lot like you before I met my current counselor. I've been seeing him for a year now and at this moment I am 2 and a half months SH free... I SH for 12 years! I really feel like I owe it to counseling. Yeah, it took me a year to get here, but it's not a quick fix kind of thing. It takes a lot of work, and a lot of time.
I'm glad now that I kept going back, even when I felt it wasn't getting me anywhere and was wasting my time. So please, just give it a shot ;) Sometimes talking to an unbiased stranger can be easier than you think. They're not going to judge you and their reaction won't affect any relationships you have like you may have to worry about with people who are closer to you.
