Have you recently gone through a break-up, separation, or divorce?

How to survive a break-up, separation, or divorce?

Most of the time, we know a break-up or separation is bound to happen. But no matter how much we start preparing ourselves, hearing the words can be so heart breaking. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere and we feel blindsided. We feel like a fool and wonder how we didn’t see it coming. Going through a separation is not easy. You’ll have to learn to live (on your own) all over again. While it'll be hard and challenging, you will get through it.

If you are grieving from a separation, allow yourself to feel all those messy emotions. Cry it out, scream into a pillow, hit the gym, do whatever helps. Reach out to people who are there to support you. If you feel like your friends or family won’t get it, our therapists will.

Next, it’s best to set some boundaries so you have space to heal. If you can’t go no-contact, go low-contact. That part is extremely hard as you’ll feel it’s official. So take the time you need and do it one step at a time.

It’s also time to start remembering who you were outside the relationship. Do things you use to enjoy by yourself. If you can’t remember, find new activities to do.

Don't rush the healing process. It's okay to take your time. If things get really tough, consider chatting with one of our therapist.

How can our therapists help you during a break-up, separation, or divorce?
