Summary
If the thought of running into your ex with their new partner makes your stomach drop, or you find yourself mentally rehearsing what you'll say, how you'll look, or how you'll fall apart, this episode is for you. Worrying about that moment keeps your nervous system on edge and your brain stuck in threat mode, even when nothing has actually happened yet. In this episode, Dorothy teaches a breakup protocol designed specifically for these high-stress encounters, so your brain can stop spiraling and start feeling prepared. You'll learn how to move from panic and comparison into calm, grounded confidence. If you're tired of obsessing over a scenario that hasn't even happened (or maybe it did and went very poorly) and want a plan you can actually use in the moment, this episode will change how you walk into those situations forever.
