My friend told me a therapist basically changed his whole perception on his life after the love of his life died, his best friend died, and he stared diving into Alcohol and stuff cuz he didn’t know how to deal with the pain anymore. I guess the therapist told him “it’s okay to feel sad and devastated about this, you deserve to feel this way, and no one can take that from you, it’s okay take as long as you want to hurt, no one can say any different and you can come out whenever you are ready” and I guess he just cried like crazy and eventually started feeling better after that
