Episode 65 The Truth About Rebounds: Moving On or Just Filling the Void?
from Your Life, Love, and Relationship Coach, Joey Francess · host Joey Francess
Are you actually moving on, or are you just trying to fill the space your ex left behind?In this episode, I talk about rebounds — what they really are, why they can be dangerous, and why they are not always as simple as people make them seem. Because a rebound is not only about how fast you date after a breakup. Time does not always tell the whole story. The real question is whether you are choosing the new person clearly, or using them to quiet the pain from the last relationship.Sometimes someone new helps you feel alive again. Sometimes they remind you that you are still attractive, still wanted, and still capable of connection. But sometimes that new person becomes a distraction, a replacement, or a way to avoid sitting with the hurt you have not fully processed.This episode is about honesty, intention, emotional availability, and learning the difference between dating because you are ready and dating because you are trying not to feel alone.For more episodes, books, coaching, YouTube, podcast links, and ways to get in contact with me, visit joeyfrancess.com.#reboundrelationships#rebounds#breakupadvice#datingafterbreakup#relationshipadvice#datingadvice#movingon#lettinggo#heartbreakrecovery#emotionalhealing#healingafterbreakup#emotionalavailability#healthydating#relationshipcoach#joeyfrancess
