The Psychology of Goodbye

In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFTs) Michelle Iversen and Brett Cushing discuss the psychology behind goodbyes and closure as the podcast says goodbye to co-host Michelle in her final episode. Michelle has been honored to be a part of the podcast from its very beginning, and you'll hear about her hopes for the podcast and our listeners. Listen to find out why our brains seek out closures in our goodbyes and what research says about both the difficulties and benefits in having closure (versus being ghosted). We will continue to have weekly episodes available with Brett leading the helm, so please join us to listen today as Michelle graduates from co-host to devoted and passionate listener. Some of Michelle's favorite podcast episodes are linked below. Episodes Mentioned:Stories of Recovery and Hope: VickyThe Link Between Toxic Diet Culture and Eating DisordersSelf-Esteem: How Do You Want to Slice the Pie?The Wounded HealerAnti-New Years Resolutions  Do you have feedback or topic requests?
