Dave Grohl is sharing that he’s been going to therapy to help him through a tough time in his personal life, which became public knowledge earlier this year.
Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl recently told The Guardian he’s been in therapy almost daily for the past year and a half. He explained that these frequent sessions – over 430 in total, according to his calculations – are helping him work through personal challenges and change his way of thinking.
Grohl shared that reaching out for therapy wasn’t a reaction to one specific incident, but rather the result of several life experiences. He noted this process has significantly improved how he connects with both others and himself.
He explained that his decision to start therapy wasn’t due to a single event, but rather a combination of factors. This came after he publicly shared in 2024 that he had a child with someone other than his wife. He stated then that he was committed to taking accountability and repairing his family’s trust.
He’s generally kept his creative process to himself since then, though he still occasionally discusses it in interviews. He’s also mentioned that writing songs helps him deal with his feelings, and he often prefers to express emotions through music instead of lengthy public statements.
He explained that simply writing songs and lyrics could sometimes be enough to cope. Grohl also discussed how he managed the public reaction to the news, noting he needed to disconnect from social media and external opinions to prioritize his well-being and focus on his personal life.
He explained that disconnecting from certain feelings can actually be a good thing. Reflecting on his busy past, he recalled a time when he was constantly involved in big projects – documentaries, books, and tours. He felt like he was always striving for the next goal, never taking a moment to rest and recharge.
Grohl explained that people can become addicted to achieving things, and that this can be harmful. While he doesn’t think working too much directly caused his recent issues, he believes it did make him feel overwhelmed and lose touch with himself.
He expressed a need to pause, disconnect from everything, and reconnect with his emotions. This statement was made as Foo Fighters get ready to release their upcoming album, Your Favorite Toy, later this year. The band is still actively touring and creating music, and Grohl is continuing with his therapy.
