It’s not always possible to know exactly why relationships end and why things fall apart. A person might not respond to your emotions and efforts and step back. As painful as it is, setting a boundary is important for your well-being.

Having clarity offered on why a relationship fell apart or ended can make space for deeper acceptance and less over thinking during the course of life moving forward.

Unfortunately, these opportunities won’t always be available or possible in the ways we want them to be. Focus on your self care and healing instead of putting all your energy into finding answers you may not get.

If you are in a dysfunctional relationship which brings you more pain, anxiety and constant challenges, remember you don’t have to put up with abuse. You deserve better. You deserve love, respect, kindness and support.

Recognising the signs of an unhealthy relationship and how you are attached to the person is an indicator of how you learnt to cope with dysfunctional relationships/ situations in your early years.

Therapy helps in developing a better understanding.

You may be causing yourself pain by damaging behaviours and thoughts which you may not be aware of.

You may not be able to control other people’s actions or behaviour or what curve balls life throws at you but you can control the misery you inflict on yourself.

Just recognizing that you are hurting yourself is a big step forward. Self-awareness is an essential tool for change. Therapy helps!

Noticing and understanding your mind/body responses is what encompasses mindfulness.

Mindfulness centres around self knowledge. It involves focus on consciousness of the present, the here and now and of what is happening around you. It helps regulate the nervous system. It’s about body sensations, feelings, thoughts and the mind’s images.

Exercising mindfulness is very helpful in trauma recovery.
Therapy helps in practicing mindfulness and trauma recovery.

Self care first always!

You can't pour from an empty cup! Everything in your life or every person in your life is not always worth draining yourself for. It's important to conserve your energy and make a choice about what you will allow or won't allow.

It's ok to self preserve. It's ok to step back a little. Nothing is more precious than your inner calm and peace. It helps you become more productive, gives you emotional stability and makes you proficient in managing your thoughts.

Healing has no time frame.

It can take a longer amount of time or be a short process. You may want to control the process of emotional healing by minimising your pain and controlling your emotions but this can actually hinder the process. Be open to sit with the difficult feelings and think about how you can make the journey gentle and how you can help and support yourself.

Imagine what your life might look like after you’ve healed.

You keep repeating unhealthy dysfunctional behaviours when you haven’t dealt with past traumas and haven’t healed parts of yourself which are broken and hurting. Breaking deeply set patterns of behaviour is hard and requires commitment and a willingness to gain awareness and understanding. It’s important to unravel the layers and explore what draws you to unhealthy situations, keeps you stuck, not value yourself and unable to break free.

Therapy helps in recognising and breaking unhelpful and unhealthy behaviour patterns.

Grief is the pain you feel that accompanies loss. Loss is not just about losing a loved one but it also can mean experiencing loss of something you never had. It means unresolved feelings or unmet needs. Perhaps you had an emotionally unavailable parent, or grew up with trauma and didn’t experience safety. The sadness around that can be intense and it’s important to process that and release the pain for your wellbeing.

Your sense of worth is an internal process generating from life experiences which may have lead you to hold a low or negative view of yourself. Value yourself. You are worthy and deserve acknowledgment from yourself.

By not acknowledging your emotions you make them stronger. Suppressing them means pretending they don’t exist but they do come out eventually in different ways and may end up hurting you even more. Try to be present with difficult feelings and work through them. It’s hard but leads to healing and overall wellbeing.
