Counseling?

Well, ladies, I need your opinion.
I recently e-mailed my local shelter about some counseling options that they offer. As many of you are aware, I've been out since late October and my divorce has been final for about four months now, but I'm still dealing with the "aftermath." As it turns out, the shelter offers individual one-on-one counseling as well as some support groups of about four to six people each. One of the support groups is actually a book study group for a book entitled "It's My Life Now." I recently ordered that book, but have not yet read it. That group started last Monday, and will meet every Monday evening.
However, I'm not sure if I can even benefit from counseling anymore at this late date. I feel like when I really needed counseling the most, I wasn't getting it, so what's the point now? Also, I don't think I could sit there in a group of people and tell my story (IRL, that is!) without feeling *really* uncomfortable. Also, how would I explain to my friends/family/BF that I'm in therapy for this lousy marriage that's already over? Won't they be like, "Just get over it already!"? I just don't know if I should try to sign up for this or not. I would almost prefer to keep it a secret from my friends, family and BF, but I just don't know if that's possible (especially since I live with my BF). What do y'all think?
