I Fell In Love With Who They Could Have Been. Letting Go Of Your Ex's Potential After Heartbreak.

from Coming Up for Air · host Loula

In this episode, I talk about why it's so hard to move on after a breakup when you still believe your ex had so much potential.If you've been dumped, blindsided, or left heartbroken after a long-term relationship, you may find yourself obsessing over who your ex could have been rather than who they actually were. I talk about heartbreak healing, anxious attachment, relationship grief, emotional unavailability, waiting for someone to change, overthinking after a breakup, and why attachment to potential can keep you emotionally stuck.We explore how to stop romanticising the future you imagined, let go of false hope, rebuild self-worth after heartbreak, and focus on your own healing instead of somebody else's growth.This is a deep conversation about being dumped, moving on after a breakup, self-trust, emotional recovery, attachment styles, and learning to choose reality over potential.Want More Like This - https://stan.store/Loula My New Instagram - @move.with.louJoin Us on Patreon - ⁠patreon.com/ComingUpForAir⁠ Youtube - https://youtu.be/uf90Uc_owUw Support the show
