How to heal from Divorce

Going through a divorce can cause great anxiety and despair. There is no doubt that the breakup of a marriage is one of the most difficult things a person can experience. If you were the abandoned spouse, you may feel betrayed and left alone. No matter who initiated the breakup, you are probably left with a mixture of difficult emotions. You may be angry, sad and scared. It may seem as though life will never get better and there is no point in going on.

You trusted and lost. Your brain was open to love and safety, and now it has to cope with betrayal and abandonment. You no longer feel safe. You feel alone but there is light at the end of the tunnel. As gut-wrenching as divorce can be, not only for you, but for the rest of your family, it is possible to get something positive out of the experience. The divorce happened for a reason, and you can learn and grow from the experience. You may come out a better, stronger, and happier person in the end. You will naturally have regrets, but divorce does not mean that your life is over.

If you are having trouble dealing with divorce, hypnosis can help. Hypnotherapy can help you deal with the anger, pain and grief so you can move beyond these troubling emotions and start living happily again. No matter how difficult the circumstances of your divorce may be, you can live with contentment and the happiness you deserve. You may even reach a place where you can look back on the happy memories from your marriage and feel an appreciation for the positive experiences you had.

Grieving is important. You must mourn whatever you lost — a betrayal, the loss of family, the loss of love, safety, dignity, etc. One should never grieve alone, and telling the tale of the trauma can help you gain some mastery over it. Sharing with a therapist can help you back on your feet more quickly.
