from Pop Culture Cupid · host Alison and Michal

You’ve heard it everywhere – go no contact. But what does that actually look like when your heart’s still attached? Why does cutting contact feel like losing them all over again?In this episode, we explore the no contact rule after a toxic breakup, and why it’s both the hardest and most powerful boundary you can set.Sophie’s questions for us:“Why is cutting contact so hard, even when I know the relationship was unhealthy?”“Is going no contact the only way to heal after a toxic breakup?”“What if I need closure, should I reach out one last time?”“What if my ex reaches out during the no-contact period?”“How do I handle situations where we have mutual friends or shared responsibilities?”If you’re caught between wanting peace and missing the chaos, this episode will help you understand why letting go is the most loving thing you can do — for yourself.Stage: Break-Up.If you enjoyed the discussion, make sure to like, subscribe and follow us on all the platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @popculturecupid Listen on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on: Patreon
