Here's what you need to know" url: 'https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/mental-health/unsure-about-therapy' markdown: 'https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/mental-health/unsure-about-therapy.md' date: '2026-03-12' description: "Nip in the Bud has been given permission by the UK Trauma Council to share this series of four short animations which they have produced on the topic of Trauma and PTSD. This film was made by the UK Trauma Council for young people who might be unsure what to expect when considering therapy to help address their experiences. It acknowledges that those feelings make complete sense, especially for anyone who has experienced trauma, felt unheard by adults, or had a previous experience of help that didn't help. It then explains, honestly and without pressure, what therapy actually involves and why being in control of the process matters. If there's a young person in your life who could do with hearing this, it's well worth sharing with them directly. After you’ve been through very frightening experiences, asking for help and getting mental health support can feel scary or overwhelming. Sometimes it might feel like there is no one that could possibly help. This video talks about getting mental health support after trauma, and why, even if it feels hard, it can be helpful." taxonomy: category: - 'Mental Health' tag: - Anxiety - Depression - Grief - Trauma - PTSD type: - Video contributor: - 'Ronit Knoble' partner: - 'Uk Trauma Council' --- # Absolutely Not: And other thoughts you might have about mental health support [ Anxiety ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Anxiety) [ Depression ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Depression) [ Grief ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Grief) [ Trauma ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Trauma) [ PTSD ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:PTSD) [ ![UK Trauma Council](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/pages/06.about-us/03.partners/uk-trauma-council/logo_uktraumacouncil.svg) ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/about-us/partners/uk-trauma-council "Content by UK Trauma Council") Duration: 0h 2m 44s Published: December 2022 Nip in the Bud has been given permission by the UK Trauma Council to share this series of four short animations which they have produced on the topic of Trauma and PTSD.
