The Friends star shared the unexpected turn of events during their first therapy session
, which was initially meant to strengthen their bond but ended with Johnny ending their engagement within the first minute.
Despite the initial shock and pain, Courteney now sees Johnny's decision as a brave act that spurred significant personal growth and ultimately transformed their relationship."I didn't know it was coming. Whether I should have or not, it was just like we went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries - what we could and couldn't accept about each other," she explained.
"I learned how to reclaim my voice, boundaries, what were my motives in life - like what was my part in this. I'm so thankful for that break-up because a, when we got back together it was a different relationship, but also because it really taught me how I operated in the world - what were the things from my childhood that I needed," she shared passionately.
The personal work she did post-breakup not only healed old wounds but also prepared her for a healthier relationship dynamic upon reconciling with Johnny."And I'm really thankful a) nothing will ever hurt me that bad again, and b) most of all, most importantly, I completely changed," she reflected. Courteney, who was previously married to David Arquette from 1999 to 2003, with whom she shares a daughter, Coco, highlighted the courage it takes to end a relationship that's filled with passion but may not be right.
