The end of a relationship can be a very distressing time and can result in increased feelings of sadness, loneliness, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Often individuals find themselves with persistent thoughts about the relationship that increase feelings of rejection, hopelessness, and regret. Therapy can provide you with a safe place to explore those feelings, identify positive coping skills to reduce the feelings of distress, and identify ways to increase your independence and confidence about establishing healthy relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help clients challenge the negative thoughts that contribute to the emotional distress related to the breakup and help them move forward in a positive direction.
