How long should it take to get over a breakup?

Break ups are hard, and the pain is real.

 How long should it take to get over a break up? That’s a very complicated question. The beauty of the human experience is that we are all so unique and have very individual experiences. The truth is, you could have been in a 20 year relationship or you may have been together for a few months before a break up and it is nearly impossible to determine how long it will take you to get over either break up.

What I can tell you is that if after a break up if you find yourself needing emotional support and are not getting that support from anyone else it may be time to seek professional support with a therapist who specializes in helping client’s processing this type of grief. Finding a therapist who gets your suffering and is willing to provide you the support you need to regain the balance in your life is worth the investment.

While this is a fragile time, I encourage to do your research and find a therapist who specializes on the grief/loss of relationships. If you are reading this and you a suffering from severe heartbreak , may you find the courage to begin your healing journey today.
