If you think the pain will never go away, it will. An expert explains the seven emotional stages of every break-up and how to overcome them.
or even family member, break-ups bring with them the kind of pain that creeps in slowly, then hits you all at once, leaving you to wonder if you’ll ever feel ‘right’ again.
And it is a process indeed. But Lloyd advises recognising the seven break-up stages and feeling your feelings rather than pushing them down. This, she says, will help you move forwards without“One of the worst things you can do is stay in denial and maybe even reconnect with an ex. You’re effectively denying yourself a proper recovery and depriving yourself of a love story with someone compatible who shares your values and romantic goals,” she adds.
“This is partly because when we experience a break-up, we can go through the same kind of physical and mental withdrawal experienced by addicts quitting alcohol or drugs,” explains Lloyd. “The brain’s reward system crashes as our happiness hormones head south. We can’t sleep or eat.”“Don’t let anything make you stay stuck in a relationship that no longer serves you. Sometimes, things aren’t meant to be, and it’s worth remembering that fortune favours the brave.
As Lloyd shares: “Accepting the anger is part of healing, along with waves of grief which have you sobbing over your iPhone. Let these powerful emotions come up and find a way to transform the negative energy into positive adrenaline. Find coping resources and positive interactions such as going to the gym, listening to cathartic songs, meditating and seeing friends.”Welp, the Saturday night blues got the best of you and you’ve unblocked them and arranged to meet up.
