Online Therapy For Breakups
Online therapy for after a breakup
When we go through a breakup, we experience a type of grief – grieving the life we thought we were going to have with that person. It can be disappointing, devastating and even feel like a bereavement.
Online therapy for breakups can be key in helping clients manage their difficult emotions, accept their situation, learn to love themselves again and boost their confidence after a breakup.
How online therapy works for healing after a breakup
Online therapy can help to process the difficult emotions experienced during a breakup, separation or divorce. My style of online breakup therapy includes:
A space to talk about loss
After a breakup, it can feel like it’s all you talk about with friends and family. Therapy gives you a safe, non-judgemental space with someone fully objective to grieve the loss of the relationship and any feelings that may have come up in the wake of the breakup.
Process any trauma
Relationships, and the loss of a relationship, can bring up fresh traumas or tap into issues of the past. Breakup therapy helps you process this and give it the attention it needs so that you can heal it before any future relationships.
Manage identity shifts
When we have a knock to our confidence like a difficult breakup, we sometimes have a hard time remembering who we are. In online therapy for breakups, we work to redefine our identity – outside of our former partner. We may have defined ourself based on our role in that relationship so now is the time to decide who you want to be going forward and build trust in yourself to start feeling safe again.
