Let’s tackle one of the most common questions after a breakup: how long does it take to get over it? 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. After this episode you’ll know exactly what to do to get over your breakup without it “taking time”.  Want to have tangible tools to apply today's episode to YOUR breakup?

Dorothy talks about the main issues with this belief pattern, such as a lack of awareness and the actions it can lead to, like hopelessness and suicidal ideation. She encourages listeners to wake up to the fact that they may have this belief and discusses how it can affect their lives, while providing actionable next steps to heal from this belief.  Although it's a tough topic, Dorothy believes it's essential to have a discussion about it to help anyone who may be struggling with this same belief.   Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (available 24/7): 988 You matter.

In this episode, we explore the idea that we don't have to feel terrible to prove to ourselves that someone treated us poorly. Often, we may feel like we need to be in a constant state of misery to justify making a change or taking action in our lives. But in reality, this mindset can actually hold us back from making positive changes and moving forward. Through personal stories and reflections, we discuss how negative emotions can keep us stuck in a cycle of inaction, and how shifting our mindset can lead to more productive and empowering outcomes. We also offer specific steps that listeners can take to start breaking free from this cycle and move towards a more fulfilling and happy life. If you're tired of feeling like you have to prove your pain to yourself or others, and are ready to start taking action towards mental and emotional freedom, this episode is for you.
