This episode discusses the misconceptions and emotional distortions that arise after a breakup and offers insights on how to navigate these challenges.

After a breakup, your emotions can feel overwhelming. In fact, your pain may convince you of things that simply aren't true. It may tell you that your ex is already over you, that you've lost your chance forever, or that you need to do something immediately before it's too late. Those thoughts feel real because the pain is real. But feelings are not always facts. In this episode, I explain why heartbreak often distorts your thinking, the five biggest lies emotional pain tells you after a breakup, and how understanding those lies can help you avoid mistakes that hurt both your healing and your chances of reconciliation.
