Breaking up is hard to do. Breakups do not just happen in romantic partnerships, but also in friendships, family relationships, and with employment. Breaking up can be incredibly challenging, eliciting a wide range of emotions including anger, grief, confusion, relief, fear, and much more.  So, what do we do if we are faced with breaking up, either by our choice or someone else’s choice? How do we not only conquer the hard emotions but grow from the experience? 

Join us as we wade through the waters of breaking up. We unpack breaking up, including emotions that may arise, how to break up well, and ways to recover and grow post-breakup. We also provide helpful guidance about how to heal and prepare for our next relationship, including tangible tools to move forward intentionally and effectively. Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of total self-blame or hiding away from the potential of new, healthy relationships. You can and will get through any breakups you face, no matter who it is with!
