If you want to talk to someone, here's a list of resources that might help

Therapy is a uniquely personal journey that not everyone can afford. The CBC podcast Other People's Problems glimpses into the private therapy sessions of eight people with their long-term counselor Hillary McBride.

With McBride's guidance they confront a variety of issues, from childhood trauma and break-ups to sexuality in marriage and anxiety management.

There are many different types of therapies and therapists. If you want to talk to someone, below is a list of resources that you might want to check out

Also, if you have access to a family doctor you can talk to or have an Employee Assistance Program at work, those are good places to start your search.
