Starting Breakup therapy

What is breakup therapy?

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Mt Pleasant 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 Mt Pleasant, SC 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 and Therapy for Breakups—Counselors and Therapists in Mt. Pleasant, SC

There are few experiences more difficult than breaking up with a person you love. Feelings of loneliness, regret, remorse, and grief are common. The space you live in, friends you see, and places you go can all trigger strong emotions related to your relationship. These feelings can be stifling, and life can become difficult, sometimes just too much, in the wake of a breakup.

It’s normal to need help moving on with your life. Breakup counseling can help you process the experience you’re having and help you get back on track. Reach out to Thriveworks Mt. Pleasant to get started.

Effects of a Breakup

When a relationship ends, it can send a person into a tailspin. The daily activities you engage in can seem foreign as if they’ve changed or lost meaning. The simple act of eating or going to bed at night can feel strange if you were accustomed to sharing those moments. It’s common to experience any number of symptoms resulting from this unique sense of loss, such as:

  • Trouble sleeping
  • Loss of appetite
  • Sluggishness
  • Difficulty with becoming motivated
  • Social withdrawal
  • Depression
  • Hopelessness
  • Inability or unwillingness to look ahead to the future

My therapist at Thriveworks, Susan, is warm and and relatable. I am a late-diagnosed autistic woman. I am basically now learning what everyone else learned in kindergarten. I have a history of broken marriages and jobs I was invited to leave because I didn't fit in, to put it mildly. She has helped me in so many ways, and I can now see decisions I made that I thought were just what had happened to me. I feel much more capable and hopeful now. I wish I could have met her years ago. I have gone to many therapists over the years, but now I can see how I can feel hopeful about my life and my relationships with my daughters and my grandchildren.

Susan is my Thriveworks therapist. She is helping me set boundaries and make better choices. I am learning a lot from her. Having Asperger's, I often can be quite blunt. I am gradually learning how to say less but make better connections. She
