About this listen

 The Psychology of Breakups & The Power of No ContactBreakups feel like withdrawals — you’re not just missing the person, you’re missing the dopamine, the comfort, and the routine they brought into your life. That’s why so many people struggle with letting go.In this episode, I break down:
  • Why breakups activate the same parts of the brain as addiction

  • Why no contact is not punishment but recovery

  • The biggest mistakes people make when trying to hold on

  • What to do instead — self-care, movement, meditation, journaling, and rebuilding your identity

  • How to tell if you’re craving love or just attachment

I also share my Healthy Relationship Checklist, a practical tool that helps you evaluate if your past (or current) relationship is actually healthy or just familiar.
