You Don’t Miss Your Ex (You Miss the Version of You Back Then)

from Breakup Pep Talks · host Sarah Curnoles

After a breakup, we often find ourselves replaying happy memories and wishing we could get it back. But here is the secret: you aren't actually longing for your ex; you’re longing for the sense of aliveness you felt in their presence. In this episode, we explore why your brain outsources your magic to others and how to reclaim your role as the Wizard of Oz in your own life. Learn how to stop chasing the dopamine hit of a past relationship and start cultivating a life that feels electric, even while folding laundry.   DM Me on Instagram "Tell me the secret" to hear more about what's coming up.  https://www.instagram.com/sarahcurnoles/
