Episode 312: Breakup on Purpose with The Angry Therapist, John Kim, LMFT

John Kim, aka The Angry Therapist, joins me to chat about his new book, Breakup on Purpose: A Catalyst for Growth. A bestselling author, well-known for his raw, no-nonsense approach to self-help, John keeps it real by practicing full authenticity and transparency.

In this episode, he challenges us to rethink breakups. No one really talks about the different kinds of breakups, but John breaks them down into eight distinct types and explains how understanding which one you're going through can be a total game-changer.

We dive into how this framework can help you process your experience, focus your healing, and even turn your breakup into an opportunity for growth.

You'll also hear:

  • Why understanding your specific breakup type can help you prioritize healing (4:55)
  • John goes through all eight breakup types and explains the different responses they may create (6:07)
  • How healing from divorce is different from other breakups (37:15)
