You found out and now everything looks different. The marriage you thought you had, the person you thought you knew, the future you were building together. You are not just grieving the relationship. You are grieving the version of your life you thought was real. You are experiencing betrayal shock. Most days feel like a burden you have to endure. You may feel fatigued or have problems sleeping. Perhaps your body aches. You may be feeling humiliation or shame. You are anxious and don't know what comes next. There is a way out, and it is not around it, but through it. You don't have to go it alone.
In our sessions, we slow down and pay attention to what is happening in your body right now, not just what happened to you. The tension in your chest when the thought comes back, the fatigue that goes deeper than sleep can fix. Using Gestalt therapy, we work with what is present, we don't get stuck in the past. The new awareness creates space for change.
You may not be sure you are ready to talk about it. But each's person's grieving process is unique. Your path forward and the timeline of recovery are determined by you and your needs. With patience and sensitivity I will support you during this difficult life transition. I offer a free 15 minute consultation. Reach out with a text or phone call today. .

My theoretical orientation is Gestalt. This involves placing a high value on being an authentic, feeling person who is able to engage with emotions in the present moment. The process of working through grief and sadness involves embracing your feelings, not stuffing them. By becoming more aware of where we are blocked we can begin to change how we treat ourselves and we show up for other people.
