How to Begin Healing From Heartbreak

Heartbreak

There’s no quick fix, but there is a path forward. Here are some trauma-informed, compassionate steps to support your healing:

1. Feel It to Heal It

Give yourself permission to grieve. Suppressing emotion only stores it in the body. Journaling, crying, and allowing the pain to surface in a safe way is essential.

✨ Try This: Name what you’ve lost, not just the person, but the dreams, routines, and parts of yourself.

2. Soothe Your Nervous System When Dealing with Heartbreak

Heartbreak is a shock to the system. Calming practices can help you feel grounded and safe in your body again.

• Breath-work

• EFT tapping

• Guided meditations

• Hypnotherapy

✨ Try This: Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat for 3 minutes.

3. Challenge the Stories

Breakups often awaken old wounds: “I’m not lovable,” “It’s my fault,” or “I’ll always be abandoned.” These are not facts, they’re trauma responses.

Healing involves identifying and gently rewriting these beliefs.

✨ Try This: Write down the painful thought. Ask: “Whose voice is this? Is it true? What’s a more compassionate truth?”

4. Create Space for New Identity

A breakup is also an opportunity to come home to yourself. Who are you without this relationship? What do you need, want, value?

This is a powerful time to rediscover your essence, passions, and boundaries.

5. Seek Safe Support

You don’t have to go through this alone. Therapeutic support, like hypnotherapy and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), can help release stuck emotions and restore your self-worth at a deeper level.

💡 Final Thought

Heartbreak feels like grief because it is grief. And just like any profound loss, it deserves tenderness, patience, and intentional healing.

With time and the right tools, this heartbreak can become a doorway, not just to recovery, but to a stronger, wiser, more connected version of yourself.
