Starting Breakup therapy in Durham

What is breakup therapy?

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Durham 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 Durham, NC 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?

If you’re struggling after a difficult breakup, know that there is hope and healing for you—and you can find breakup help at Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, NC. Our skilled therapists, psychologists, and counselors help people like you recover from devastating breakups. They will work with you to address and manage the painful emotions you’re experiencing, help you come to terms with the breakup, and equip you with the right tools for moving forward from here.

Common Post-Breakup Struggles

Most of us experience some pretty difficult emotions after a breakup—which may pose some health hazards and hurt our overall wellbeing. This is why it’s important to seek the assistance of an experienced relationship counselor or therapist who will properly advise you in bouncing back from and moving forward after a breakup. Highlighted here are some common struggles individuals suffer from post-breakup:

  • Restlessness
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Depressive feelings
  • Social withdrawal
  • Self-doubt
  • Anxiety
  • Hopelessness

If the above aren’t taken care of properly, they could worsen and even degenerate into other, more serious issues. Additionally, individuals who have just split from their significant other often face challenges, which can be categorized into three main groups: social challenges, financial challenges, and mental challenges.

How Will a Counselor or Therapist Help?

A trained relationship therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Durham can offer you the following assistance if you are going through a trying breakup and experiencing any of the aforementioned effects of the split:

  1. They will carefully consider the side effects that you are experiencing and listen to every detail you share about your post-breakup self.
  2. They will offer concrete suggestions for moving forward with your life.
  3. They will encourage you to love yourself again and help you to build your self-confidence back up.
  4. They will help you to improve your relationships with others and feel comfortable opening yourself to new relationships.
  5. They will support you in the process of recovery and provide real-time assistance that you need to begin life again following a breakup.

These are just a few examples of how a counselor can help you maneuver through life after a tough breakup. Once you meet with your counselor, they will be able to create a treatment plan specific to you, your situation, and your current state—thus ensuring success.

Darryl is outstanding . I would have had great trouble getting through the issues I have had to overcome. He is kind, thoughtful, and has offered good ways to deal with my issues. I would highly recommend him as a therapist. I have fired quite a few over the years. He is definitely a two thumbs up.
