Divorce tips: How to heal in a therapy session from a divorce

Healing from divorce takes time and people going through this process tend to experience a range of emotions including sadness, guilt, anger, resentment, fear, frustration and depression.

The good news is that therapy can speed up the healing process and help people view the end of their marriage more positively.

A few years ago, I developed a visualization technique that is based on Erickson's psychotherapy and hypnosis and seems to help many people who divorced to heal their loss and restore their general well -being.

A description of this technology appears below.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths while listening to my voice.

Every time you inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. And every time you breathe in, you take up relaxation, peace and healing. And every time you exhale, you let pain, sadness or negative or uncomfortable thoughts or uncomfortable emotions go or reduce it.

This is how your breath becomes a powerful healing agent. You can use your breath to adjust your mood whenever you need it.

And if you use your breathing to heal yourself, you may also discover that your mind can travel back in time if you want this.

And if you go back in time ...

Do you remember when you were a little boy or a little girl?

Maybe you remember what you looked like back then or have seen photos of yourself from your childhood.

Maybe you also remember what the house looked like in which you grew up.

Well, as a child, you probably fell while running or riding a bike. And most likely you injured your knee or elbow. And your arm or leg probably bled a lot back then.

Then your mom, dad or a neighbor came over and hugged you and comforted you.

They washed the wound and applied an antiseptic to the injury. That probably hurt a bit. When it was placed on your wound, you may have felt like you had to feel a little worse before you could feel a little better.

And then her supervisor attached a pavement or mull and adhesive tape, which was exactly the right size to cover and protect her wound.

This helped them to feel less pain, to be a little safer and a little safer.

The wound may have felt worse the next day and even a few more days or weeks.

They probably had to change the patch every day or so. And you may need to wash the injured area frequently.

But over time the wound began to heal, even if you sometimes scratched it like most children do.

And after a little more time, a scab formed, all bleeding stopped and the old skin was replaced by a softer but harder new skin.

After a while, the pain almost completely subsided. However, you still had some good and bad days with your wound.

Well, the pain of some wounds may never disappear a hundred percent.

Many of us have physical pain that stays with us, but we continue.

But fortunately, sometimes eighty or ninety percent healing is enough for us to continue to feel generally well.

As you can see, the spirit of emotional losses and wounds heals in the same way as it heals from physical injuries.

If you or someone you love is struggling with loss, think about the healing process described in the metaphor.

Perhaps it will help you relieve your pain, heal and drive your life with a more positive spirit.

Try it. Interestingly, this same technique has been used by people dealing with the death of a loved one.
