Missing Someone Doesn't Mean They Were Good for You

from The Road Leads Back to Me Hosted by The Road Leads Back to Me LLC

Why do we miss people who hurt us? If you've ever caught yourself missing an ex, a friend, or even a family member who wasn't good for you, you're not alone—and it doesn't mean you should go back. In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral Seco explores the psychology behind why we miss people who caused us pain, how grief and trauma bonds can make letting go feel so difficult, and why missing someone doesn't necessarily mean they belong in your life. Together, we'll unpack why your brain remembers the good before the bad, the role rituals and shared experiences play in the grieving process, and what it actually looks like to heal after losing someone who once meant everything to you. If you've ever asked yourself, "What's wrong with me? Why do I still miss them?"—this episode is for you. Because healing isn't about pretending they never mattered. It's about accepting that someone can be important to your story without belonging in your future. 🎙️ New episodes of The Road Leads Back to Me premiere every Wednesday on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
