The “Ex Effect”: Why Your Brain Can’t Let Them Go

Description

Do you feel stuck on an ex . . . convinced you’ll never feel that way again? In this week’s episode, Matthew, Audrey, and Stephen reframe “I’ll never be as happy” as an anxious thought, not a prophecy.


They unpack nostalgia traps, why we over-glorify past relationships, and how to reclaim your power. You’ll hear practical ways to create new meaning (even at old places), how to stop social media stalking, and change the story you’re telling yourself.


Plus, a Love Life Line caller asks whether it’s OK to date while ending a long marriage, and the Love Life podcast crew plays a rapid-fire game looking at post-breakup behaviors that help or hurt healing.
