Individual therapy for relationship loss in North Carolina

 
 

Your relationship is over and you don’t know which step to take next.

 
 

You’ve landed on a therapy page looking for support in the aftermath of your relationship. The end of a relationship can feel like the rug just got pulled out from under you. Maybe you chose to end the relationship knowing it was finally time to do what is right for you. Maybe you were completely blindsided by this abrupt ending and are just trying to make sense of it all. Either way, you may find yourself feeling like you have to completely start over, like you don’t know which way to turn and a new dreadful sense of loneliness. 

You may not even know who you are outside of the relationship and that is a unique and terribly difficult pain.

The end of a relationship can leave you with a wound to your self worth and a low sense of self confidence. A breakup can also mean a loss of a lot of things; maybe you’re having to change where you live, who you spend your time with, where you work or even HOW you live. I know what this transition can feel like and it can leave you feeling so lost.

 

What if i told you…

this is also a unique and special opportunity to find and cultivate a life that you always really wanted?
