What is break-up recovery?
Break-up recovery is the process of healing after the end of a romantic relationship. It involves processing emotions like grief, sadness, anger, or relief, as well as adjusting to life without your partner. Recovery looks different for everyone and can take varying amounts of time depending on the relationship and circumstances.
How can therapy help with break-up recovery?
Therapy provides a space to process the complex emotions that come with ending a relationship. A therapist can help you understand what you're feeling, make sense of what happened, and begin to rebuild your sense of self outside the relationship. Therapy can also help you identify patterns to carry into future relationships. Learn more about building a relationship with your therapist.
What should I expect when working on break-up recovery in therapy?
Your therapist will create space for you to talk about the relationship and its ending without judgment. Sessions may involve processing grief, exploring your identity outside the relationship, examining patterns you want to change, and developing coping strategies for difficult moments. The pace will be guided by what you need.
How do I find a therapist for break-up recovery?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with break-up recovery. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth and style before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding. Book a free consultation to see if a therapist is the right fit.
