How to Resist the Urge to Reach Out to Your Ex (Again) with M

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beating yourself up for reaching out to the ex you just can’t seem to quit? I can’t count how often I’ve had these kinds of conversations with clients! Today, I talk with my former client M who’s frustrated with herself because she recently reengaged with an ex of hers. And it isn’t the first time she’s done it either, but she knows it’s not good for her and wants to move on completely.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The truth is that there’s a real emotional need underneath actions like this. And addressing that provides the best way for M to reach her ultimate goal: releasing this person from her life. So what is going on underneath, and what can she do? Tune in to find out and if you can relate to her (whether you’ve sought out a former partner for the first or the millionth time), I hope this episode gives you permission to be kind to yourself.</span></p> <p><strong>1:56</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- The connection between food and reaching out to your ex</span></p> <p><strong>7:15</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- M reveals the crux of her situation</span></p> <p><strong>13:03</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Going back to see where M’s feeling of invalidation comes from</span></p> <p><strong>18:51</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- What keeps M stuck in this cycle</span></p> <p><strong>23:14</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Why trying to use willpower ultimately doesn’t work and what I recommend M do instead</span></p> <p><strong>28:48</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- The one thing M might still want to explore</span></p> <p><strong>30:36</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Suggestions for cutting cords keeping you plugged in emotionally to things you want to release</span></p> <p><strong>34:32</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- The key to</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">letting your action have power over you</span></p> <p><s
