Ep. 308 - How to stop feeling on the edge of tears after your breakup

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?
