If you want your life to be more stable, then you might have to ask your brain to work a little. Recognizing and naming and talking about emotions is a learned skill. I am MUCH better at it now than I was 10 years ago. You could learn it, too.
If you like your life the way it is, then you don't need therapy. If you don't like your life the way it is, then you will have to work to change it. A therapist won't just change your life for you. Yes, they will ask you questions that will make you think, and will make you anxious. But they will help you figure it out and decide if it really is dangerous or not.
You need to decide if you like your life the way it is or not. If not, it will take some work. For me, it has certainly been worth it.
