Online therapy for those traumatised by the final season of Game of Thrones, whether its coping with the loss of something that was large part of a fan's life or triggering painful memories of traumas past, being aware of your mental health needs is crucial for people who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or PTSD.

Dire need for such narratives to be challenged. The need for therapy has nothing to do with not having friends. When people struggle with mental health issues they often feel ashamed of telling the people closest to them. Therapy provides a channel for people to be open and honest about their difficult experiences without worrying about the impact on the person they are sharing painful things with. A therapist creates a safe space for these feelings to be expressed and help people heal without judgement or bias. Therapy is not replacing family or friends it's a scaffolding that sufferers need badly to cope with trauma. Please educate yourself before making statements that perpetuate damaging stereotypes.
