#336 Why the One Who Hurt You Can't Heal You with Najwa Zebian
from Heal Your Heartbreak
In today’s expert episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Najwa Zabian, Lebanese-Canadian author, speaker, and educator, to talk about her powerful new book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You. We dive into why so many of us seek closure, validation, and even healing from the person who hurt us—and why it never truly works. Najwa breaks down the struggles we face when trying to let go after heartbreak, how we often avoid focusing on our own healing journey, and discusses the challenge of accepting someone for who they truly are once they've shown us their true colors. We also explore why crying over lost memories can be just as important as finding new joy, what it means to trust yourself after betrayal, and the freedom that comes from prioritizing your own peace over fixing or changing someone else.
