Post-breakup therapy worth it?

Small Update: 

So here I am 4,5 months post breakup. I found someone new to speak with and we made first contact yesterday. At the end she said I sound pretty self-aware and the fact I recognize love can exist with someone else means I could start dating again. Personally I'm not there yet. I could appreciate someone new and not compare him to my ex but I enjoy my peace and quiet for now. I work all day in my pj's, spend all nights watching series, I pay zero attention to my appearance....I'm not done being in my bubble. 

She said something to me that I'd like to share with my heartbroken friends. She said it's not important what motivated my ex to cheat and it's not important if he truly loved me through that, what is important is that I felt our relationship was loving and it made me happy. Why he chose to lead a double life, did he really love me, was he happy with me, all that belongs to him. It's not mine to figure out. Hearing that made me want to leave a little more of it behind me. 

I'm getting there. 

Thanks for the update Gaeta.  Glad to hear you're steadily making your way through recovery.  Having someone to talk with during these times is so valuable.  I'm glad you found a counsellor you can connect with to provide you with that support.  Take care.
