Starting Breakup therapy

What is breakup therapy?

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield, VA 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?

It is not an easy thing to break up from one’s lover, partner, or spouse. Since this involves a lot of emotions, it could lead to uncomfortable feelings and exasperation. Efforts are required to do away with those painful memories and embrace a peaceful, new life.

If you’re looking for assistance overcoming a breakup, seek help from a counselor at Thriveworks Chesterfield today.

Common Symptoms of Relationship Breakups

Some of the common symptoms usually associated with people going through relationship breakups are:

  • Real physical pain
  • Cannot sleep well
  • Full of anxiety
  • Feeling seriously depressed
  • Lack of motivation
  • Hopeless feeling, et cetera

Anyone with one or more of the symptoms above should seek relationship breakup counseling immediately. On most occasions, it is difficult to deal with the aftermath of a breakup alone without asking an experienced breakup therapist for help.

Challenges People Usually Faced After Breakups

  • Mental challenge: Depression and mood swings are two common mental challenges faced by someone going through a relationship breakup.
  • Social challenge: After a breakup, people tend to withdraw from their social circles as they are now ashamed to face their former friends, colleagues, and associates. Most especially, they run away from meeting friends they had shared with their former spouse, partner, or lover.
  • Financial challenge: Relationship breakups can impose financial difficulty on either of the former couples because each of them must now be responsible for their financial needs after breaking up.

How Can a Qualified Relationship Counselor Help in this Case?

Asking for help from a qualified relationship counselor or therapist can provide much-needed therapy for breakup couples, partners, and lovers. Here are some of the ways a therapist can help you:

  • Listening carefully to you and offering practical suggestions
  • Providing some counseling according to the information gathered from you
  • Keeping the counseling real and offering useful advice
  • Guiding you through a process of self-recovery
  • Creating a condition of positivity to boost your self-confidence
  • Helping you deal decisively with guilt and self-accusation
  • Creating a mindset of self-expression and better communication ability in you

If you are going through any of the relationship breakup issues highlighted above, give us a call to get started—or book online to begin working with one of our counselors at Thriveworks Chesterfield today.

I was so nervous about going to therapy being that I’ve never foresaw a reason or need to go… I had encountered a very traumatic accident at work and it left me confused and depressed about my career path! I can honestly say if it weren’t for Ariane I’d still be left battling confusion and and depression from my accident. I’ve suffered anxiety and panic attacks from the incident but Ari has given me helpful tips to get through my tough times when I’m experiencing those attacks. I’m just so grateful to have encountered a very experienced and understanding counselor who genuinely has my best interest at a full recovery at heart!

This was my first therapy experience. I was in desperate need for help. Jenee was my therapist for a year and I can’t overstate how incredibly helpful she has been. She met me where I was mentally and helped me to find myself and healthy/productive ways of dealing with my everyday struggles. I’m a completely different and happier person thanks to her hard work.
