When you’re so stressed by the burdens of life you feel as if you’re a twig about to snap, talking to someone can ease that pressure.
But why talk to a therapist? Why not someone who knows you personally?
Well, it’s not always possible to open up to a friend or relative. And their advice, however well meaning, might not be right for you.
A professionally trained therapist, on the other hand, talks to you objectively, helping you explore your feelings in a safe, secure and empathic place.
