Have you recently ended a committed relationship, only to find you know longer know who you are and that you are lonelier than ever? Do you find that your expectations of a relationship have been derailed and that your life is in constant disarray? Are you engaged in feelings of self-doubt, guilt, fear, blame and remorse, wondering what you could have done to change the outcome of your relationship? Maybe you find yourself constantly on guard, feeling emotionally wounded and unable to enjoy life. You may be left confused by the separation experience finding your life has no purpose and direction. You may find your identity and expectations challenged, unsure of your place in the world, and your self-worth being undermined. There maybe be a great deal of pent up resentment for the sacrifices you made for other, that you are disposable and have been taken for granted.
You may find yourself avoiding commitments, shying away from social engagements, and that meeting new and interesting people has become difficult and embarrassing. At the end of the day, you may feel discarded by your loved ones, family, friends, and society. You may find yourself dumbfounded, living a life of obscurity, staving off depression, anger, alcohol and substance abuse. Worse still you may be left without a home, a support system or reasons to work and keep going. Struggling with this pressure, you may find yourself eventually homeless and filled with thoughts of depression and suicide.
Desperately seeking a way out of the situation
Often the separation process feels so overwhelming that people may resort to desperate measures, including suicide. If you are thinking about killing yourself, you already know how close you are to suicide. You may find yourself giving away prized possessions, increase your alcohol and drug use, sleep too little or too much, become withdrawn from your friends and social activities, lose interest in your personal appearance, or even engage in risky behavior and thrill seeking activities. What you may not know is that while your friends and family may observe these changes they are often unaware of how they can support you or where to direct you for help and support until it is too late. However, there is help and support out there for you, and that seeking help is, in fact, the first step in your journey to recovery. Whatever it may be, from a crisis help line to a professional Counsellor, someone is out there to help, all you have to do is ask.
Separation can be a moment of transition in your life
Separation can be a time of life change, where you can take the time to learn truly about yourself and discover a deeper understanding of what motives you. It 's okay to be aware of your emotions but feels uncomfortable sharing them with others. In a safe counselling environment, you can explore your feelings and develop a deeper awareness of the personal choices that lead you to the present. You can learn how your decision-making processes are influenced by your current behaviors and past experiences. Through the counselling process, you can come to terms with the outcome of your relationship, develop a greater awareness of yourself and understand what is important to you. Through developing your own narrative and by taking quick actions you will learn to manage your emotions effectively, with more control over your life and its outcomes. With this newfound awareness, your life will once again become meaningful, as you transition through the separation experience into your new life here in the present.
Regaining control of your life and your feelings
You don’t have to manage your journey through separation on your own. Through the counselling process, you can develop a new story for your life, better understand your interpretation past events and lead your life into the future with confidence and self-determination. I invite you to contact me to discuss your specific needs and to answer any questions you have about the counselling process and my practice.
