Talking your situation through with a qualified therapist can help you to see things with a fresh perspective. Your therapist will help you to identify where you are now and support you to clarify your wishes for the future.
A therapist can help you explore your experiences of life so far and help you to identify unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Fear of losing what has become familiar can become an enormous obstacle to your vision for your new future. That might include; fear of losing your partner, spending less time with your children, losing shared friends, being on your own or the loss of your family home.
You may lose confidence, self-esteem and perhaps your sense of direction. At a time of great loss, it is helpful to be listened to, supported and encouraged by a trained professional. Taking the opportunity to explore the heart of what is difficult, can bring insight into our distress and difficulties. By gaining insight and understanding of difficulties you can more easily find a way forward. It can enable you to find more appropriate ways of coping and reach some clearer conclusions.
