“There are plenty of fish in the sea.”
“Time will heal the hurt.”
“I will get over it. It’s just a breakup.”
•
These are some of the very real thoughts/ words someone may say or hear after a breakup. The truth is that breakups are a lot harder than what we chalk them up to be.
•
Therapy can be extremely helpful after a breakup. A therapist can help you with coping, identifying your goals, figuring out who you are outside of that relationship, and establishing self esteem in a new season of singleness.✨
