Najwa Zebian: The Person Who Broke You CAN’T Heal You.

from The Break-Up Diet

If you’re still waiting for an apology, closure, or one last conversation with the person who hurt you... you NEED to hear this one. ❤️‍🩹This week I’m joined by bestselling author Najwa Zebian, and honestly, this conversation completely changed the way I think about healing after someone breaks your heart.We talk about why we stay in relationships we know aren’t right for us, the difference between a rough patch and an actual deal breaker, and why we can become so obsessed with trying to “fix” something that is only hurting us more. Najwa also explains why leaving can feel SO scary, even when deep down you know it’s what you need to do.And obviously, we had to talk about closure. Why do we convince ourselves we need one last conversation? Why do we want them to finally understand how badly they hurt us? And would getting the apology we’ve been waiting for actually make us feel any better? Because sometimes the closure you’re desperately trying to get from them is something you have to give yourself.We also get into toxic relationships, ignoring your intuition, giving someone one too many chances, the post-breakup “glow up”, and Najwa’s Never Again List — aka deciding what you will NEVER accept from someone again.This genuinely felt like one big therapy session and there were sooo many moments where I was thinking, okay... I needed to hear that.If you’re struggling to let someone go, still waiting for them to give you the closure you deserve, or wondering why you keep going back to someone who has already shown you who they are... this episode is for you.Because the one who broke you can’t be the person you rely on to heal you. 🤍And make sure you check out Najwa’s new book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You, out August 25th. If you’re going through heartbreak or trying to heal from someone who hurt you, this book is basically made for you. ❤️‍🩹Pre-order / learn more about Najwa’s book here:The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You — Najwa Zebian Hosted on Acast.
