When a relationship doesn’t work out…Separation Counselling can help
Relationship counselling can be very useful for couples and individuals who have difficulties in their relationship and are committed to working at improving things so that they can stay together in better harmony.
But there will always be some people who deep down feel that nothing will ever be the way it once was, that the relationship is not salvable, that there is no hope in trying to stay together. It is natural to want to ignore these feelings at first, as any alternative to being together is too hard to contemplate. Little by little it becomes harder to avoid recognising that the relationship is irretrievable and sadly, this is sometimes a one-sided awareness – the partner may not share the same feelings or want to talk about separating. As the relationship deteriorates it has an impact on all the family and teenagers especially are very vulnerable to the possibility of their parents separating Teenbetween.ie.
Separation Counselling can be very helpful at this point in your life and our counsellors are trained to work with the emotional impact of your situation. If you both attend, the counsellor will help you express the huge range of feelings, the anger, the hurt, the sadness, the confusion, the fear – all normal reactions – and over time enable you to go your separate ways as amicably as possible. If you come on your own, the counsellor will support and help you through the difficult and complex emotional process until you feel ready to move on. If you are a parent, it might be useful to look at how you can best help your children cope with the change.
