Things We Cover in Our Divorce & Breakup Support and Skills Group

Going through a breakup or divorce can shake the very foundation of who you are. Whether the ending was sudden or long-expected, it often brings waves of grief, confusion, and loneliness that can feel overwhelming to face alone. Our support and skills group is designed to help you process these emotions and rebuild, surrounded by others who truly understand what you’re going through.

Below are some of the key themes and skills we explore together:

Understanding Grief & Loss in Breakups

Even though a breakup isn’t a physical death, it often brings a similar kind of grief. Together, we unpack what loss looks like when a relationship ends — the loss of shared routines, dreams, and identity. We discuss the loss and grief, how it might show up differently after a breakup, and how to navigate this.

Navigating the Emotional Impact of Divorce

Divorce can stir up a complex mix of emotions — relief, guilt, anger, sadness, fear, and even shame. In group, we give the space to acknowledge and validate this instead of suppressing them. This part of the process helps you regain emotional clarity and begin to make sense of your new reality.

Fostering Self-Compassion and Resilience

Many people blame themselves after a breakup, replaying what they “should have done differently.” We explore how to treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a close friend. We build confidence, strength, and resilience — the ability to bounce back and move forward even when things feel uncertain.

Processing Anger, Betrayal & Resentment

These emotions can feel consuming, but they’re also valid responses to pain and unmet expectations. We discuss healthy ways to acknowledge and release anger and resentment — without letting them control you. This may include guided discussions, journaling, and grounding techniques to help you move from reaction to reflection.

Rebuilding Self-Worth & Confidence

After a relationship ends, it’s common to question your value or sense of identity. Together, we work on rebuilding trust in yourself, recognizing your strengths, and reestablishing confidence in who you are — outside of the relationship. This part of the group often brings moments of empowerment and renewed self-understanding.

Creating Healthy Boundaries & Detaching Emotionally

Letting go doesn’t happen overnight. We focus on practical ways to set boundaries — both emotional and physical — that protect your peace and promote healing. This includes learning how to manage contact, navigate co-parenting (if applicable), and maintain a sense of emotional distance as you recover.

Navigating Loneliness & Rebuilding a Support System

The silence after a breakup can feel heavy. Together, we talk about how to cope with loneliness, rediscover what brings you connection, and begin building a supportive network of friends, family, and community. We explore ways to reconnect with your interests and create a life that feels fulfilling — even as you heal.

Why Join a Support Group?

Group therapy offers something individual sessions can’t always provide — the healing power of community. Hearing others share similar stories can remind you that you’re not alone, and witnessing each other’s progress often brings hope. The group provides structure, validation, and tools for growth, while offering a safe, confidential space to process your emotions at your own pace.
