Is Talking to Friends Enough? Why Therapy Could Be the Missing Piece in Your Grief Healing

Summary of the Episode:

Have you ever wondered if therapy is really any different than just venting to a friend over coffee? After losing a parent or someone you love, it’s natural to lean on friends—but sometimes even the most supportive circle can’t help you move forward in your grief.

In this episode, I share my own story of realizing that while friends could comfort me, they couldn’t help me break free from the cycles of pain I was stuck in. Together, we’ll explore how therapy offers something uniquely different: unbiased support, deeper insight, and practical tools to navigate grief and loss. Most importantly, we’ll look at how God can use therapy as part of your healing journey without it replacing your faith.

If you’ve felt hesitant about therapy or unsure if it could really help, this episode will give you encouragement, biblical truth, and a clearer picture of how faith and therapy can work hand-in-hand as you walk through grief.

• Why therapy provides a safe, unbiased space that friends often can’t
