The grief and pain of losing a loved one or a relationship can be excruciating and terrifying, confusing and overwhelming. It can feel like it will never pass.
When we enter into intimate relationship we merge and bond on so many levels - we become energetically intertwined, our nervous system becomes tuned to our partner, our rhythms and habits are created around the other, we get used to a certain physical presence.
When that relationship is severed we must detach and recalibrate our physical, energetic, mental and emotional self on deep levels. It can be incredibly disorienting, painful, unwanted, and challenging.
If you’ve recently experienced a loss or break up you may still be in the initial shock, where you are having trouble concentrating, your emotions are out of control, grief hits you constantly, and your memory is shot.
You may feel drained and enervated, not sure how you’ll get through the day, meet your responsibilities. All you want to do is take to your bed, go into the “cave”, lick your wounds. Or, all you want to do is distract yourself, stay busy, be with people so you don’t have to be with yourself.
You may be a little further along where you feel a bit more stable but you can’t seem to move on, can’t imagine your future without your partner or loved one. You may wonder if you'll ever feel joy, or peace, and especially love again...and if a break-up wasn't your choice, how you'll forgive.
I have worked with many people suffering from devastating break-ups, illnesses, and death. I have gone through deeply painful loss myself. There is help available that can help you heal more consciously, deeply, and maybe with a bit more ease, from these kinds of losses.
