Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
...always bringing up being mindful, aware, attentive and introspective? Focusing on one's self and not shifting the focus of pain and suffering to externalities? I believe it is the underlying mechanics behind healing and growth, even though some might not realize they are sometimes engaging some of its techniques.
I understand some might not desire to delve into it as deeply as others, and that's okay. To each his own. But for those who are interested in understanding its uses and potential benefits, I'd like to share some links.

There's a TON of articles on Mindfulness Therapy. These are just a few I feel stood out.
If you find anything intriguing or useful, great! If you don't, well that's okay too. :-)

When I was in therapy going through my divorce, the therapist did not diagnose me with anything, but said I exhibited some BPD tendencies.
We didnt incorporate a lot of DBT into my remaining sessions, but what we did use was extrmely helpful. I took more out of my last 4 sessions than I did in the prior 5 months and finished therapy on a really high note.
For anyone in therapy, I highly recommend discussing DBT with your therapist. Being more mindful has changed my perspective to view everything in a more objective way, which removes a curprising amount of complication from my life and massivley aids in problem solving.
OBI-WAN: I have a bad feeling about this.
QUI-GON: I don't sense anything.
OBI-WAN: It's not about the mission, Master, it's something... elsewhere... elusive.
QUI-GON: Don't center on your anxiety, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs.
OBI-WAN: Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future...
QUI-GON: .....but not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful...
