How Do I Get Over Someone? The Science of Heartbreak with Colette J. Fehr
About this episode
Colette J. Fehr discusses the neurological aspects of moving on from breakups and offers strategies for emotional recovery.
Relationship expert Colette J. Fehr joins Kristie and Felicia to unpack the messy, neurological reality of moving on. They explore why breakups feel less like a simple goodbye and more like overcoming an addiction, creating a need for a strategic "reset" of the brain. Colette advocates for “no-contact” as a vital tool for nervous system regulation and reclaiming your sense of self. Some takeaways: Why missing an ex mirrors an addiction cycle and how to break it. How creating distance allows your nervous system to detach from an ex. How to move from waiting for closure to finding an internal resolution. The dangers of "rebounds" and why reclaiming self-worth should be a priority.
