### Seeking Support and Empathy

Discussing mental health requires empathy (**empatia**). When referring to a specific noun as the direct object of a relative clause (like "the psychologist *that* I chose"), Romanian uses **pe care**. Remember that **pe care** must be accompanied by an accusative pronoun that matches the object's gender and number (such as **l-** for a masculine singular noun).

{{item:1151852}}

Reflexive pronouns like **ne** (ourselves) or **se** (themselves) are frequently used in Romanian to express reciprocal actions. In these cases, it means the subjects are performing the action on *each other*.

{{item:1151853}}

### Facing and Processing Trauma

To express that someone is "facing" or "confronting" an issue, we use the reflexive verb **a se confrunta** followed by the preposition **cu** (with).

{{item:1151854}}

{{item:1151856}}

When describing an action as difficult, use phrases like **este greu să** (it is hard to) followed by the subjunctive form of the verb, such as **procesezi** (you process). Below, notice how **pe care** is used again, this time paired with **-o** to match a feminine object (**trauma**).

### Discussing Emotional Disorders

Many medical and psychological terms in Romanian are very similar to their English counterparts, making them easy to recognize. 

When using adjectives like emotional (**emoțional**) to describe disorders (**tulburări**), remember that the adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Because **tulburare** is feminine, its plural adjective form becomes **emoționale**.

### Healing and Moving Forward

A vital part of therapy is healing (**a vindeca**). Notice how the reciprocal reflexive **se** appears again below to show mutual respect between two individuals.
