90. To Block or Not To Block

To Block, or Not to Block…That IS a big question after a breakup! It can lead to a LOT of closure and open a new chapter in life that is about you and your new life separate from your ex. But although we love to talk about the benefits, we also know that a lot of people struggle with taking the leap. Well today we are taking a leap with you, into a rabbit hole of all things BLOCKING. We cover: -the reasons why people struggle with blocking their ex -HOW and WHEN to block an ex -coping with your ex blocking you (and what it really means) -the reasons we love blocking so much -what to do if you co-parent with your ex -mindfulness techniques to use if you keep thinking about what your ex is up to Plus: how to stay strong Resources from this episode: You Are Not Your Brain: the 4-step Solution for Changing Bad Habits, Ending Unhealthy Thinking, and Taking Control of Your Life by Jeffrey M.
