Much like the relationship itself ending a relationship can be influenced by our past experiences and upbringing. Therapy can help to deal with the potential end of a relationship.
Pre-separation:
- How to know if the relationship is at it’s end
- How to end a relationship
- How to deal with your relationship being ended
- How to reduce the effects of the ending on you or other family members
- How to be safe when ending a relationship
- Working out the practical aspects of ending a relationship such as finances
Post-separation:
- Dealing with strong emotions after separation
- Working on your experiences of the relationship – how to change for next time
- Feelings of failure, not feeling like you were good enough
- Feelings of anger and disappointment
- Understanding the effects on other relationships such as children
- Working with difficult behaviour post separation
