Surviving a Breakup, Broken Heart: Counseling Tips

August 30, 2018 by Thriveworks Staff Leave a Comment

Maybe it came out of nowhere and hit you like a ton of bricks, or, perhaps, you feared the day would come but tried to avoid the conversation. The words that made you feel that your heart had stopped beating: “We need to talk,” “It’s not you; it’s me,” or “I love you, but I’m not in love with you.” You may have felt you had found The One, but with the announcement of a few words the future you planned together is now gone. There’s a part of you that feels lost, your heart is broken and there’s a huge hole in your life.

Lately Anna’s boyfriend was becoming more and more controlling.  Whenever he wasn’t with her, he wanted to know where she was and what she was doing, and was becoming jealous when she chose to spend time with her girlfriends.  Whenever she tried to talk to her about his recent behavior, he would become angry and physical with her.  She was becoming afraid of him and worried that he might never calm down.
