You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience

relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome

insecurity and build healthy thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment. In today's episode, I'm answering the community question of I can't help but hope that my

ex will come back. How do I let go so I can actually move on? This is a question that I get a lot, variations on this,

how do I stop thinking about them,

ruminating on them, replaying it all in my mind,

secretly hoping that they reach out,

that they come back.

You know, how do I let go so that I can create the space

insights on that if this is a situation you're in or maybe you've been in in the

past or maybe you think you might be in the situation in the future. That's what today's episode is going to be all about.

Before we dive into that, a couple of quick announcements. Just a reminder again, if you haven't already,

to join the wait list for Healing Anxious Attachment, my signature course, which is

reopening for enrollment in a few weeks. It opens two to three times a year and is a really, really powerful program for anyone who struggles

I know that a lot of anxiously attached people have usually tried a lot of things.

But this program has the tick of approval from over 700 people who've been through it in the last 12 months.
