Help! I miss my toxic ex (Q&A live)

‪@InvisibleBorderline‬ asked me this question in a recent live and here is my answer to her.
If you have other suggestions, please do leave them below! How did you cope with idealising and euphorically recalling the chemistry and excitement of a past relationship.

Thank you so much. I have made the list. You’re not the first to recommend that and the “grief timer”. It’s hard to break a lifetime of maladaptive coping mechanisms. Working on it every day.

It was a great question and such a common experience that I just had to turn it into a video. Thank you for asking it! I hope you're seeing growth and progress ❤‍🩹
