Breaking up from a partner is one of the most stressful things that can happen to us. This stress can lead to increasing levels of anxiety and other negative emotions. Hypnotherapy cannot sort out the practical problems of breaking up, but it can help you regain control, and calm the emotions right down so as to be able to deal with the practical matters of the breakup a little easier.
The following are based on real case scenarios that I have dealt with. Details have been changed to protect the identity of the individuals concerned:
Anonymised Case Study 1
Albert discovered that his wife was cheating on him with a man at work. He felt angry and humiliated. His feelings of self-worth as a husband were at rock bottom. They separated and started divorce proceedings. The divorce constantly reminded him of the humiliation he had gone through and he started to have an almost constant feeling of anxiety. After a series of hypnotherapy sessions, he gradually got his anxiety under control and he was able to deal with the solicitors and the divorce proceedings in a calmer, more relaxed manner.
Anonymised Case Study 2
Beatrice had been with her partner for years and was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the relationship. She finally decided that it was time to leave her partner, and told her that she was breaking up with her. Her partner was angry about the breakup. Beatrice started to feel guilty even though she knew the partnership would never work in the long term. She started hypnotherapy to help her deal with this dilemma and the feelings of guilt that were giving rise to depression. She was eventually able to get rid of the feelings of guilt and square things with her ex-partner properly. They parted on friendly terms.
Anonymised Case Study 3
Christine discovered her partner with another woman. After an angry breakup and several months apart, they decided to get back together again. Christine was certain that he would never do anything like that again, but was still filled with uncontrollable feelings of doubt and jealousy when he met other women at work or socially. She found herself constantly challenging him about what he was doing, and that put an increasing strain on the relationship. After a series of hypnotherapy sessions, she regained control of her feelings and was able to discuss things properly with him.
And finally …
As illustrated in these case studies, a breakup in a relationship can give rise to a range of damaging emotions. Hypnotherapy can help people in this situation with the emotions that arise, leaving them better able to deal with the more practical consequences of the breakup, and then better able to rebuild their lives afterwards.
