Coping and moving on after the break-up of a relationship

Often when dealing with issues you might have gone to your partner which will often now no longer be an option.  Many of your friends may have been joint friends which may be now difficult to speak with about the relationship or may be only willing to listen to so much.  Counselling can often help in easing the pain of the break-up and in supporting you through the process.  Here are some of the advantages of seeing a counsellor:-

• Someone to talk to you who really listens, 
• Someone to talk to who does not have a stake in what is happening to you
• Someone to talk to who does not judge you for your actions and will keep what you say confidential
• Someone who understands what you are going through
• Someone who is trained to support you through any emotional distress you may be experiencing in a safe and healing way
• Supporting you decide whether or not you wish to try to give the relationship a second chance
• Supporting you manage, understand and move on from all the feelings you may be experiencing such as anger, denial, betrayal, sadness, depression etc.
• Supporting you in building your self esteem
• Supporting you in understanding why the relationship did not work out and how you can best move on from this

Sometimes all that counselling does is give you the feeling of someone supporting you through a difficult time.  Other times counselling may be instrumental in you moving forward quicker and growing from the experience in a positive way without any long term damage in terms of self esteem, depression, repeating negative patterns etc.
