A Recent Break Up Keeping You Stuck?
First, when a relationship ends, no matter how long or short, it can be devastating. One moment, you and your partner were so in love. The next, you are separate, distant, and too different. Also, loss and depression becomes very real. At any point, if you feel suicidal, always call the suicide help line. Otherwise, from support gaining back self-confidence, the team at Wisdom Within Counseling would love to help you with holistic depression therapy in Niantic, Connecticut. As a holistic marriage and family therapist in Niantic, my team and I can teach you skills to be socially confident and love yourself.
Are there old hobbies you used to find exciting are no longer interesting?
Right now, you feel “blah.” Healing after a break up can be long and a patient growth process. When I help people heal from a broken heart, as a psychologist in Niantic, Connecticut at Wisdom Within Counseling, I am always reminding people that it is totally okay to cry. For one, crying helps a weight lift off your shoulders. Furthermore, tears are healing and give the past meaning. So, it can be very healing to cry with the support of a caring therapist, such as myself. Likewise, letting go is a lifelong practice and we need compassion from others along the way.

Here are some great tips for healing after a break up!
1) Don’t stress the could have’s, would have’s, and should have’s.
Now, re-thinking the past will only leave you feeling lost without direction. Instead, focus on the other good things going on in your life. For example, make a list of your school, job, friends, even waking up alive.
2) Cry to heal. When a huge part of your heart is missing, it’s really hard to think about moving on let alone getting up in the morning.
Next, your break up may feel like a huge loss, maybe even the biggest lost you’ve felt in your young adult life. But, I love helping people as a relationship specialist in Niantic. Truly, it is your ex who is missing out. It’s very difficult to be broken up with out of the blue. But, holistic depression therapy in Niantic, Connecticut can teach your not to waste your time chasing someone who doesn’t share the same values as you. Overall, confidence, self-esteem, and better self-worth can come from holistic depression therapy in Niantic, Connecticut. So, therapy can help you attract a healthy person who wants the same things. Lastly, crying acknowledges the loss and allows you to take time to heal.
3) Practice a daily routine of self-nurturing. For each person, this will be slightly different.
Think of refreshing and revitalizing your mind, body, and spirit in order to heal from a breakup. Sadness is normal. Anger and feeling betrayed are also normal too.
I want to give you a few fun ideas to clean out your emotional life and recreate yourself after a depression and break up: change your bed sheets, rearrange your living room, pick out new curtains, clean out your fridge, plant a new garden, pick up knitting, learn to hula hoop, try a new scented shampoo, indulge in a new body mist or perfume, organize a daily yoga class, or even take a bath. I love going to yoga! Even if I’m crying on my yoga mat, it helps me get out of my head and move through the intense sadness.
4) Watch funny animal videos on YouTube. Recommendations as part of weekly holistic depression therapy in Niantic, Connecticut
After a time of sadness after a break up, it can be difficult to feel upbeat. As humans, we have to retrain ourselves to think positively and see the bright side of life. It is an active choice and takes effort and concentration. Look on Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, or even Facebook for funny animal videos to cheer yourself up. Type, “funny animals,” into Pinterest and laugh to you’re hearts content. Laughing is the best medicine and sometimes watching funny animal videos for 10 minutes can be the perfect remedy for depression related to a recent break up!
