Ep. 303 - When I stopped wanting my ex, my ex wanted me

When heartbreak hits, it can feel unbearable, like you’ll never stop hurting, never find love again, and that maybe the problem is you. In this episode, I sit down with Braveheart alumni Anne, who knows that feeling all too well. After her breakup, she was consumed by fear, self-doubt, and the thought that she wasn’t enough. But everything shifted when she learned one powerful concept “I’m allowed to.” This simple reframe helped her release the weight of “I should” and “I have to,” and instead step into permission. Permission to not miss him, permission to move on, and permission to live her own life fully. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of pain, wondering what’s wrong with you, Anne’s story and the mindset shift she shares will give you the exact perspective you need to take back your power and start moving forward.

You keep waiting for your ex to give you the closure you need, an explanation, an apology, some sign that what you had mattered to them. In this episode, I'm revealing the twisted psychology behind why begging for closure actually pushes your ex further away, and the counterintuitive approach that either gets you your ex back or something infinitely better. Plus, I'm announcing something I've never offered before that's going to change how you approach getting over your ex completely. If you're tired of waiting for someone else to set you free, this episode flips everything you think you know about closure upside down. The Comeback - https://dorothyabjohnson.com/thecomeback/
