Summary
If you feel like you've tried everything to get over your ex and nothing has worked, this episode will probably feel very familiar. From journaling, therapy, meditation, dating someone new, tarot cards, hypnotherapy, "feeling your feelings," and endlessly making lists of your ex's flaws… this conversation dives into why so many healing tools only take you part of the way.
You'll hear what's often missing beneath the surface of heartbreak recovery and why some people still feel emotionally stuck years later even after doing "all the work."
This episode breaks down the deeper patterns underneath attachment, obsession, and emotional looping while offering a more complete approach to finally letting go. If you're exhausted from trying to heal but still feel emotionally tied to your ex, this conversation will help you understand why, and what actually creates lasting change.
