For this reason, it may be helpful to reach out to a therapist or mental health professional for guidance following a heartbreak. 

Benefits Of Online Therapy

Though music can serve as a powerful tool in coping with a wide array of emotion, speaking with a licensed therapist or counselor may provide the additional support needed to move on after a difficult heartbreak or breakup. 

If you have recently experienced a breakup or are having trouble moving on, it is possible that online therapy may provide a more accessible option than typical in-person therapy.

Effectiveness Of Online Therapy

According to research, online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), also known as talk therapy,  is proven to be equally as effective as in-person therapy in regards to reducing the symptoms of certain mental illnesses including depression and anxiety. 

Takeaway

Love and music tend to go hand in hand. Whether the music expresses feelings of elation or heartbreak, it seems there is a song in nearly every genre that covers the topic of love in some way. While music can provide guidance to someone falling in love, or solace to someone experiencing a difficult breakup, consulting a therapist or mental health professional in the face of difficult or consuming emotions can often serve as an even more helpful tool.
