Psychotherapy pre or post-transplant?

There are so many emotional, relational, and psychological issues that come with the transplant process.

Did anybody go to psychotherapy during the process leading up to transplant, or when adjusting to life afterwards? How was it helpful?

I was in therapy the entire time, and still go. I found it to be insanely beneficial, and actually credit a lot of my recovery to all the intense emotional and mental work I did pre transplant. I intentionally sought it out, but I do think there needs to be more of an emphasis on it for all transplant patients
