Summary
In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're getting real about something that hits deep - what do you do when someone just stops showing up for you emotionally? You know that feeling when their energy shifts, the care fades, and you're left wondering what happened?
After seeing so many TikTok conversations about love avoidance and no contact, I knew it was time to dive into this topic heart-first. Because let's be honest - whether it's a romantic partner, a friend, or even family, that emotional withdrawal hits different when it comes from someone you truly care about.
This isn't just another "move on" conversation. We're getting into the nitty-gritty of how to hold onto your worth when someone's actions (or lack thereof) have you questioning everything. I'm sharing three powerful strategies that have helped not just my clients, but myself too, in navigating these tough waters.
In this episode, we cover…
- 04:31 When you grieve the fantasy of relationships
- 06:35 Your coping toolkit
- 08:52 Coping Strategy 1
- 15:57 Coping Strategy 2
- 21:46 Coping Strategy 3
- 35:41 The No-Contact Strategy

| 0:00.0 | My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them by hook or crow to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there. |
| 0:20.0 | Just to bring it out. This is what |
| 0:22.1 | compels me to compel them, and I will do it by whatever means necessary. Welcome to the Black |

| 0:53.5 | Hello, hello, and welcome to the latest episode of Black Girls' Heal. |
| 0:56.9 | I am so excited to be with you today. |
| 1:00.0 | Today we are talking about three ways to cope when they no longer care. |

| 1:30.5 | You know, a lot of people who are having followed questions about that. |
| 1:33.6 | And it just got me to thinking about the pain that happens when you really find out that even |
| 1:39.9 | when you're pulling back emotionally, even when you are emotionally hurt, you're expressing what you need. |
| 1:45.7 | Maybe you are actually in a period of no contact, not just that you are pulling back emotionally |
| 1:50.7 | and no longer investing in a initiating connection, but that you're actually not in contact. |
| 1:55.9 | But when you find out or see that they don't care how painful that it is and how is not as simple as just |
