You are hard-working, loyal and good-humored—coping with many of life’s disappointments. You’ve been surviving, but the end of your relationship feels like the final blow. Now that you’re single, you realize the tendency to get lost in relationships and conform your personality to your partner’s. The dust has settled and in many ways you’re grateful to be free. But, you still feel lost and now you are questioning everything.

You’re tired of trying to get support from friends & family who don’t understand. Worse yet, some were never supportive of the partnership in the first place (as with families of some LGBTQ clients). Your friendship network is still in contact with your ex so now it all just feels weird. It’s increasingly painful to talk to loved ones, and you’re left feeling isolated and alone.
