Description

In today's dating culture, we often hear the word "ghosting" thrown into the mix. Ghosting, the practice of ending a relationship abruptly, usually leaves us feeling lost, anxious, and confused. Why does ghosting happen? Do we really need closure? How can those struggling with goodbyes learn the tools for a healthy goodbye? And what are some ways we can manage our emotions during a breakup or significant life change? We spoke with Lia Love Avellino, licensed clinical social worker, modern love therapist, and founder of Spoke Circles, a group support hub, about the practice of "good goodbyes" and "power parting," healthy ways we can confront difficult emotions whether we're the recipient or the initiator of an ending, and advice for those currently struggling with a goodbye.
