That depends on the duration and intensity of the relationship. But if you see some need for therapy, I think therapy would be useful
Yes, many can find psychotherapy useful following a breakup in order to have a space to process their feelings and come to a place of closure and peace with whatever led to the breakup. It allows space to grieve but can also help people realize aspects of that relationship that may have not felt quite right, which can be instrumental in trusting again and forming a new relationship in the future.
Yes!
