Mindfulness and divorce: Hypnotherapy in Reading, Oxford, Thame, Wallingford.
Mindfulness and divorce. It needn’t be the end!
I’m going through a spell of seeing several clients for issues relating to the end of their relationships. It seems to be a difficult time for relationships in Reading, London, Thame, Wallingford and Oxford.
The one thing these people have in common is that they imagine that they should be feeling differently. They refuse to expect the validity of their emotions. They demand that they should be helped to feel happier, less hurt, less alone, more this, that and the other.
I’m afraid to say that feelings don’t work like this. You can’t just wish them away. You can drink them away. You can use drugs. You can delay them.
You can’t, however, keep them away indefinitely. ‘Sorrow floats’, as the Voice of the Beehive once sang. You can’t keep a cork down forever. One day your feelings will force themselves to the surface and you’ll just have to deal with it.
Hypnotherapy could help you to cope with these emotions and to allow them to pass. Hypnotherapy could help you to cope with the grief and to move forwards. You can learn to get past this and you will. I’d be glad to help you.
But it isn’t going to be as bad as you think. You can learn to experience them without all the negative labels. You can learn to experience them as if you’re standing alongside them. You don’t need to wallow in them or spend weeks, months, years, unable to function.
Mindfulness and hypnotherapy can help you to appreciate your strengths whilst confessing to your vulnerability. Why shouldn’t a divorce or any other form of break up be a painful time?
Why should it be easy? Feelings are hurt. Things have been said. Dreams seem wrecked and life will never be quite as you once expected it to be.
None of this means, however, that you won;t be able to recover and to build a new and better life. You simply have to go through the bad times in order to get back on track again.
You can do it and I’ll be glad to help you!
That’s a difficult adjustment to make.
Life will go on and new dreams will emerge and strengths will be forged in the fire of adversity. You will learn to move on. You will learn to trust and to love anew. New dreams will form themselves from the ashes of the past and everything, in time, will assume its rightful perspective.
Allowing yourself the luxury of feeling bad will make you feel better. That sounds weird but it’s how a former client once described this process to me. Suppressing emotions can be effective, for a while, but it’s costly. Let those emotion come and they’ll pass all the more easily.
The world may feel as if it’s ending but a better future is waiting. It will take time to reach and you’ll have to travel through some dark times. Together, however, we’ll find a way.
Break ups are tough. You needn’t, however, make them tougher than they need to be. If you’re finding things heavy going then give me a call.
