      Having productive conversations after a breakup can help bring closure and allow individuals to sleep better at night. This was discussed on the Girls Gotta Eat podcast, where Matthew shared insights on the topic. For those going through the painful aftermath of a relationship, wondering if there's still a chance, this conversation might provide valuable guidance. It can help reduce anxiety and fear, providing a sense of clarity. If you're in this situation, consider listening to the full episode on the Girls Gotta Eat podcast, available on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher. The podcast, which focuses on comedy, sex, dating, and relationships from a female perspective, is both entertaining and informative.

    • Expressing deep care and love during a breakupDemonstrating care, acknowledging issues, and offering to work on them can lead to closure and growth during a breakup

      During a breakup, people often seek closure and want to know if there's anything they can do to save the relationship. To help achieve this closure and promote productive conversations, one approach is to express deep care and love for the person, acknowledge potential issues, and offer to work on them. This approach demonstrates confidence and respects the other person's decision. While it may not guarantee a reconciliation, it shows that the relationship was valued and provides a sense of closure for both parties. Ultimately, breakups can lead to growth and new opportunities, and it's essential to communicate effectively and respectfully during this process.

    • Having tough conversations about a relationship's futureExpressing a willingness to work on oneself and the relationship with confidence and vulnerability can lead to closure and personal growth.

      Having difficult conversations with a loved one about the future of a relationship can be daunting, but expressing a willingness to work on oneself and the relationship with confidence and vulnerability can lead to peace of mind. It's essential to remember that the ultimate goal isn't always to save the relationship, but rather to find closure and the ability to move forward with a clear conscience. Confidently expressing a desire to work on the relationship while also being prepared to walk away if necessary demonstrates strength and respect for both parties involved. Ultimately, the conversation's purpose is to provide clarity and enable personal growth, allowing individuals to sleep peacefully at night, regardless of the relationship's outcome.

    • Practicing confident vulnerability in communicationEffective communication involves expressing feelings confidently while maintaining power, leading to closure and potential healing for heartbreak.

      Effective communication is key when trying to rekindle a relationship. Instead of becoming desperate and pushing the other person away, practicing confident vulnerability can help you clearly express your feelings while maintaining your power. This approach allows for closure and opens the door for potential healing and future relationships. For those who have experienced heartbreak, the guide at 3secretsotolove.com offers valuable insights on self-care and taking the first steps towards healing and opening up to love again. Remember, taking care of yourself and having necessary conversations are essential parts of the healing process.

    259: How to Get Over Narcissists, Cheating, and Heartbreak...the RIGHT Way

    When you've been betrayed or hurt by someone, you can often ask yourself, "How did I miss the red flags?".

    And in this reaction you may end up blaming yourself. Especially if you feel like there's a recurring pattern in the people you've chosen to date so far. So what is the role of our own responsibility when we date people who hurt us? And how do we practice self-forgiveness and compassion for ourselves so we don't get caught in a trap of endlessly beating ourselves up for someone else's bad behavior?

    In this episode Matt, Stephen and Audrey discuss the role of self-compassion vs. accountability, dealing with betrayal, and how to move on from heartbreak the right way.

    Sound familiar? It can be shocking to find out that someone who always held out on commitment suddenly decides they want marriage and children . . . but only after you break up.

    At that point, you might be thinking: “Oh, so they were able to change . . . they just didn’t want to change with me.” So how can you recover from this feeling of not being chosen? In today’s episode, I share 3 things you MUST know when you find yourself in this situation and can’t move on.

    The SHIFT Podcast - Episode 7 - Reframing Selfish Series -  Let's Talk Boundaries

    The SHIFT Podcast - Episode 7 - Reframing Selfish Series -  Let's Talk Boundaries

     

    Reframing Selfish is not about avoiding being selfish but rather about SHIFTing our perspective on the concept and removing the negative nuance around the idea of making our well-being and proactive self-care a priority.

     

    Being selfish when it comes to our well-being not only benefits ourselves, and strengthens our relationship with self, but all of our relationships benefit as well.

     

    In episode 7 of the SHIFT , Trish & Diane expand the "Reframing Selfish" conversation around the importance of protecting the commitment to our well-being with boundaries.

     

    We continue unpacking our societal programming and explore the practice of boundaries  - establishing, communicating and enforcing them with ourselves and the demands of life in order to honour that commitment to ourselves.

     

    Getting more comfortable with managing our own boundaries also helps us to recognize and honour other people's boundaries too.  

     

    Join us for this fluid conversation and making the SHIFT to a new perspective around the concept of "selfish"  - empowering ourselves in making the choices that bring us closer to our highest self, which benefits and streghtens our connection with all of humanity.

    #152 - How to Break Up With Someone You Care About

    #152 - How to Break Up With Someone You Care About

    In my role as a therapist, life coach and breakup recovery coach here at Growing Self, I have had the honor and privilege to walk along side many people as they make agonizing decisions about whether or not to stay in a relationship.

    They often have deep ambivalence about the relationship: They love their person, and they acknowledge that the relationship has many good aspects, and yet they simply feel in their heart that it is not the right relationship for them.

    So they stay. Sometimes, for years. 

    If this is familiar to you (or someone you know) this podcast is for you. In this episode I'm addressing:

    • Why people get stuck in an unhappy relationship
    • What goes on inside of someone in the weeks and months leading up to a breakup
    • Why (and when) breaking up can be the most compassionate thing for all parties
    • How to break up with someone you care about (especially if they argue with you about it)
    • Underlying factors that can contribute to people having "commitment issues"
    • What relationship patterns need to be addressed, lest they follow you into your next relationship
    • What to discuss in couple' counseling if you want to give it one more shot

    I hope this perspective helps!

    Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
