EP16: Letting Go and Moving On: What to Do When a Relationship Ends
Description
Sarah and Therapy Jeff are continuing last week's conversation about ending relationships. Dealing with the end of a relationship is hard, no matter the circumstances. Do we need closure? How do we get closure? What do we even mean by "closure' in the first place? We often think getting closure means understanding exactly why a relationship has ended in the hopes that this will save us from heartache, but Sarah talks about the importance of closure in terms of allowing yourself to grieve the end of a relationship. Jeff asks us to consider why we feel like we need closure in the first place. Sometimes it's a healthy and healing experience. Other times, we're just looking for ways to retread old wounds, and maybe that's when it's time to think about having a conversation with a therapist instead of your ex. If you are struggling with letting go, Jeff's got some questions you can ask yourself to help you think through moving forward from the end of a relationship, and Sarah's got some concrete suggestions for things you can do to get back in touch with who you are when you're not in relationship. Take yourself out on a date. Eat the spicy food your partner couldn't stand. Remember, you aren't alone because you're always with yourself, and this is a great time to put you first!
