We'll explore why it's not about the length of the relationship or how long it's been since the breakup. People heal at different rates, and the process can vary depending on factors such as the level of attachment, what you're making the breakup mean about you, and individual coping mechanisms. We'll talk about why relying solely on time as a metric for healing can be misleading and frustrating. Instead, we'll offer practical tips and insights on what really helps in the healing process.
