Why Therapy Matters After Breast Cancer — Even If You Think You’re “Fine”

S2E3 Many breast cancer survivors believe therapy is only for people who are “falling apart.” But the truth is, emotional processing often doesn’t begin until treatment ends — when the appointments stop and the adrenaline wears off. In this episode of Besties with Breasties, Sarah and Beth are joined by licensed professional counselor and cancer survivor Casey Mills of Rising Willow Counseling. Together, they talk openly about the role therapy plays during and after cancer, why so many women experience emotional fallout months or years later, and how stigma keeps patients from getting the support they deserve. Casey explains how fight-or-flight mode can delay emotional reactions, why younger survivors may struggle differently than older patients, and how resilience is built — not assumed. This conversation normalizes therapy as a tool for strength, healing, and long-term quality of life.
