re: At what point do you go and see a therapist/ Do they really help?

I've went to a grief therapist before that I found extremely helpful. I knew I needed to do something but couldn't commit to actually going to see someone in their office. So I used better help and did it all virtual. Saw the lady for a few months, until I realized I didn't need to any more.

She offered good insight, let me know it is ok to be upset and have bad days. Just go in another room and allow yourself time to let our your emotion and compose myself again. Talked about ways to celebrate those I've lost on anniversaries/birthdays. Like make a cake when its their birthday or their favorite meal. It all seemed kind of cheesy at first but it worked.

So I say go try it out, and remember if you don't like the person it doesn't mean therapy isn't for you, you might just need to find someone else.
