Separation & Divorce
The ending of a marriage, or other long-term intimate relationship, can be one of the most stressful, overwhelming, devastating and emotionally suffocating times of our lives. When a relationship breaks down it is common to experience feelings including;
- Confusion
- Grief
- Anxiety and depression
- Loneliness
- Overwhelm
- Self-hate
- Jealousy
- Resentment
- Regret
- Fear
… obviously the feelings experienced will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding each breakup and the unique people involved.
However it happens it’s important to know that in order to heal and move forward you must give yourself permission to feel the feelings and take the time to learn the lessons the experience is able to teach you… about yourself, your relationships and the people you want in your life going forward.
If you are considering ending your relationship but can’t work out a path forward or an actual exit strategy, therapy may also help you work out what is it that you want, if the relationship is no longer meeting your needs. Sessions of this nature are where you may find your answer to the questions “Should I stay or should I go?” or “How do you know when to go?”
Whatever stage, whatever the circumstances, getting support on board will allow you to feel less alone, more empowered and hopefully, more optimistic about your bright future!
If you would like some support with separation and divorce, it would be a pleasure to work with you. Feel free to reach out or to book an appointment.
A word on Separation & Divorce…
You ARE allowed to feel whatever you are feeling
Although your story is unique, separation & divorce are common so you are NOT alone
Doing the work WILL help you to heal, not the passing of time
Your relationship status does NOT determine your worth
Women with children are NOT unlovable, damaged, ‘with baggage’ or anything else for that matter, you will find love again!
