Breakup therapy FAQs

What is breakup therapy?

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Austin therapists helps people process the loss that comes with a breakup. In addition, it can help them to better understand what was wrong as well as what was right in their relationship so that they’re able to move forward.

How does breakup therapy work?

Breakup therapy works by offering a safe space for people to explore the pain and changes that can accompany a breakup. It also works by equipping individuals with healthy coping mechanisms such as self-reflection and relaxation techniques to replace harmful (or maladaptive) coping mechanisms.

Is breakup therapy conducted in person or online?

Breakup therapy from the therapists at Thriveworks in Austin, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does breakup therapy last?

The amount of breakup therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.

Need more help deciding?

Relationship breakups have different effects on different people. While some may have the inner strength to boldly deal with this difficult experience, others may be badly affected by what they have gone through. Hence, seeking immediate help from a relationship breakup counselor or therapist is quite indispensable.

A lot of people who have gone through a breakup often demonstrate the following serious symptoms:

  • They may not be able to sleep well.
  • They feel hopeless and always worry about the future.
  • They are depressed.
  • They don’t have the motivation to do their jobs or any other activity.
  • They are bothered about what other people say about them.

In addition to the symptoms described above, some people who went through relationship breakups are mentally, socially and financially affected. The social fallout from a breakup could push a person into seclusion (a form of social withdrawal) as he/she actively avoids associating with people he/she had shared with their his/her spouse or partner. A great number of break-up persons go through a period of depression as they struggle to readjust to single life. Financially, those who used to depend on their former partners or spouses for financial support will have to fend for themselves after breaking up.

The main responsibility of a seasoned relationship therapist is to make sure that you go through the process of recovery safely and smoothly. Here are possible ways a relationship counselor can help you:

  • By spending time with you in order to fully understand your past experiences
  • By suggesting real-time and practical solutions to all your emotional needs
  • By encouraging you to improve certain areas of your life that will make it easier to maintain another relationship in the future
  • By helping you get over guilt and other confidence-destroying habits
  • By providing on-going consultations through which all your concerns will be properly taken care of
  • By staying at your side all the way into full self-recovery

If you have had a hard time getting yourself back after a breakup, why don’t you call us for a quick consultation so that we can access what kinds of assistance you need?

★★★★☆
My provider is approximately my age which is important for me. Being 76 I wouldn't relate to someone much younger.

★★★★★
Availability, knowledge and expertise. They all seem to have the ability to listen and advise. My only criticism is that counseling is not accessible to me in a period of crisis.

I feel that my clinician is truly listening and processing the things I say. I appreciate the feedback/tools I have received thus far. I do not feel any sort of judgment or misinterpretation of what I am expressing. Claire is phenomenal!

★★★★☆
It felt great to get some of the things that were stewing in my head out to someone. As women we tend to take a lot. Gay is a very nice woman. I think I may have needed someone a little younger. We had good conversations but remembering me as a person was a struggle. Maybe it's the work load. I haven't been able to vent to anyone in a long time so it felt great to do that. I think if I seek therapy in the future that I would prefer if the work load wasn't as hard on the therapist. I do feel like the therapy was a lot of things I already knew due to past experiences. It would be nice to have therapy sessions with people who can somewhat remember our past conversations. Again Gay is a great person and tried to help me to the best of her abilities. She is a great senior therapist and could help some folks that may not know the strategies for combating stress and anxiety. I do not regret reaching out
