Starting Breakup therapy

What is breakup therapy?

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Knoxville 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 Knoxville, TN 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.

Counseling for Breakups — Therapists and Counselors in Knoxville, TN

It is usually not a good experience to break up from one’s lover, partner or spouse. A lot of emotions are involved in the process: Some people could be very sad, disappointed or betrayed. But life must go on. You must find a way to embrace a peaceful, new life.

Sometimes, that involves working with a mental health professional to heal and move forward. Thriveworks Knoxville has breakup counselors here and available to help. Reach out today to get started.

Common Symptoms of Relationship Breakups

Some or all of the symptoms below are common to people going through relationship breakups:

  • Physical discomfort and pain
  • Lack of motivation
  • Inability to sleep well
  • Feeling nervous or anxious
  • Depression
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Thinking of killing himself or herself

The most sensible thing to do at this junction is to seek relationship breakup counseling soon after the breakup has been finalized. You may not be able to deal with this unfortunate situation yourself; an experienced breakup therapist should be able to help you transition into a better life after the breakup.

Challenges People Usually Faced After Breakups

  • Social challenge: Breakup people normally avoid associating themselves with their former friends, colleagues and associates.
  • Financial challenge: Breakup may force some individuals to start catering for themselves financially, now that they have lost financial assistance from their former spouse, lover or partner.
  • Mental challenge: One of the most common symptoms of relationship breakup is mental illness, which can either come in the form of depression or anxiety disorder.

How Can a Qualified Relationship Counselor Help in this Case?

Outlined below are the ways a qualified relationship counselor or therapist can help you overcome all your worries after a breakup:

  • He/she will listen attentively to you and offer practical suggestions
  • He/she will provide useful counseling according to the initial information gathered from you.
  • He/she will keep it real and proffer pieces of advice that are concrete and actionable
  • He/she will guide you through a process of self-recovery
  • He/she will establish an atmosphere of positivity and self-confidence-boosting for you.
  • He/she will help you remove guilt and self-accusation from your mind
  • He/she will cultivate an air of self-expression and better communication ability in you.

I like that I am given lots of materials to work with to solidify what I have learned and go back to when I forget what was talked about. I also love that I feel like my experiences or knowledge of therapy isnt a barrier because I am met where I am on skills. Im given information where i lack knowledge and we are able to move on when i already understand a skill.

Brittany Tyler is an amazing therapist that has helped me realize so many truths about myself. She pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way to improve my mental health. I have received so much clarity from our sessions, and I truly don't know where I would be without her support, validation, and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone, because she is able to meet the client where they are at to provide the best results. I feel understood, and challenged in the most effective way. Her knowledge is so expansive, and as a therapist myself I have been thoroughly impressed with her technique. She is truly incredible at her job and I am thankful to be her client.
