Therapy or not?

Just wondering everyone’s thoughts and experiences of therapy. I’ve never had counselling or therapy before. However I wonder if I will need it after the devastating loss of my mum. Part of me thinks it would help to talk things through. However, I also wonder if it’s going to make it more painful or if I’ll feel frustrated by someone pretending they understand when they probably haven’t lost someone that close.

Hello @s.b.2025,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your Mum. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.

Take good care,
Sarah
