Summary
There have been so many times that people in my program have gone through breakups or divorces and just like with any other highly emotional experience, they might be feeling a strong desire to overeat or binge so they can escape the uncomfortable feelings they're feeling.
When this happens, it's important that we talk about how to manage the feelings they're feeling, rather than just eating to avoid them, and how to handle the breakup itself.
And what happens most of the time, is that in addition to the help I give to my clients, I also send them to Breakup Coach Dorothy's podcast, How To Get Over Your Ex, for additional tools, insights, tips, strategies, and concepts that will help them navigate their breakup. Dorothy is just so knowledgable about how to handle breakups that I cannot not tell them about her!
So, because I have referred her so many times, I wanted to bring her onto the podcast to share her wisdom with all of you who I haven't had the chance to refer to her.
If you're going through a breakup, or went through one awhile ago but still aren't over your ex, then this episode is for you. And even if you're not or haven't, it could still be helpful for you to listen because you might have a breakup someday and maybe not just with a romantic partner but a friend, or a job, or something else. You can gain some knowledge and prepare yourself for the possibility now. Or, you might learn something that you can share with a friend who is going through it or who will in the future. No matter where you are with breakups, there will be something you can takeaway from this episode to help yourself or someone else.
