Hear me out: Snape x therapist
He can't say anything bc he's a wizard, the therapist is like "I understand" and he has a crash out over that fact that no, they don't understand and can't understand
Honestly, combo for disaster.
I know the Muggle X Severus trope has its fans and if it's done well it can be super interesting. Having someone not from his world could be a huge plus for him and help him open up.
But he'd hate being analyzed and scrutinized and would snap each time. Even though he is mentally struggling it cannot be pointed out to him too often.
A therapist may be able to get through to him in sneaky ways tho.
But if they're Muggle and can't understand what he went through... I just struggle to imagine how this could work. I mean it COULD I guess (I've seen fic where it allegedly worked) but it would take so much more time? Because he'd need to omit so many things in order to tell his story and be understood. Maybe even invent some? I guess I just wish him something simpler.
And also having your partner kinda being your therapist doesn't sound super healthy to me. It could get super messy so fast. Let him have one outside of home.
And as I said while I get the Muggle trope and it's an interesting angle for him to grow through, It's just not really my thing.
