Good for you, to go to a psychologist! I hope it helps you learn and grow. You need time to heal. It takes time, many months, perhaps.

And, you need time to learn and to grow from this. If you got so little from him, and you gave so much, then perhaps you need to examine WHY you fell so hard for a guy who didn't give you anything close to what you really need.

We learn something about ourselves through our relationships with others. So, though relationships can be painful if they don't work out, we come out through it with deeper self-knowledge. And if you take the time to really learn, you won't find yourself in the same relationship with a different face - sometimes, if we don't take time to learn about ourselves, we fall into patterns until we do listen and learn.
