I’ve Never Felt So Alone

We often hear relationship advice from various sources like friends, family, and other couples. A piece of advice that frequently comes up after a breakup is: “Never lose yourself in a relationship.” In many cases, we invest a lot of time and may even sacrifice parts of ourselves to make the relationship work. When things don’t turn out as expected, the feeling of loneliness can become overwhelming.

Our daily routines and habits are often intertwined with our partners, so when they’re no longer around, it’s natural to wonder if this loneliness will ever end. When we let this discomfort take over, it can lead to really tough times.

Sometimes, in an attempt to avoid feeling alone, we might start going out more or diving into a new relationship. However, if we haven’t addressed our fear of loneliness, we might quickly jump into another relationship, which could eventually lead to more emotional pain.

Facing our fears isn’t easy, but it’s crucial. The key takeaway is that by confronting our fears, we can overcome them and begin the healing process.

Personal growth and development require us to be at peace with being alone—whether a relationship ends or not. Being alone gives us the chance to become more in tune with our own interests, thoughts, and feelings, helping us grow more comfortable with ourselves.

Counselling sessions permit that time and space for personal awareness (although there is another therapist in the room). Contact us today so we can help!
