Presley recently ended a three-year relationship with her partner, and since then, she’s had more than a little difficulty recovering from it. Even though she has a support network of friends and family to lean upon, she doesn’t have the same level of connection with anyone else as she did with her partner. Even though she’s not interested in re-starting their relationship, Presley isn’t sure how to talk through the loss and sadness she feels without having her partner there.
After doing some thinking, she’s considering whether or not she should talk to a psychologist about the negative emotions that are stemming from her breakup. While Presley feels anxious about connecting with someone unfamiliar to discuss what’s been going on, she’s also aware that it could be a way for her to prioritize her mental health and personal goals.
Maybe you can relate to Presley— it’s normal to feel intimidated about talking with a mental health professional. But at Thriveworks in Billings, MT we know that anyone, at any point in their lives can benefit from talking with someone from our team of psychologists.
