Counselling programs can help people who are separating and/or divorcing, to deal with their grief and anger, so they can move forward with a sense of purpose and plans for the future.
Counselling may help you to:
- Look at the changing nature of your relationship
- Manage the grief and loss associated with a relationship breakdown
- Assess the real value of anger
- Identify a pathway for the separation
- Learn about acceptance and ways to attain it
- Learn to be single again
- Gain the strength to consider a new and sustaining relationship.
Counselling and working through the problems of separation with someone who has no personal involvement can help people through this difficult time.
In reality, many people live happy, fulfilled lives following a relationship breakdown. Some people choose to re-partner and many do not. There is no right way.
