Therapy for Breakup Healing
For LGBTQ+ Folks
Breakups can make it hard to sleep, hard to focus, hard to eat, or hard to stop eating. You can miss that person so much it physically hurts.
You may be analyzing the entire relationship to figure out what went wrong. You might think, “Was I too needy? Should I have fought harder for them? What if that relationship was my one chance?”
You may notice relationship patterns and not know why they keep happening.
Sometimes breakups in the queer/trans community hurt extra hard.
Maybe you can’t lean on family.
They could be hoping this “phase” is over now.
They may not take the breakup pain as seriously.
They may not know about the relationship.
They might not be in your life.
You might understand your gender or orientation better than when the relationship started. It can be scary to “get back out there” as your full self.
You and your ex may have the same friends. That messes with your support network when you need it.
Your ex may have been everything to you – your family, your best friend, and/or the one person who knew your identity. You may be relying on each other even now.
You’re not alone, and you can get through this.
