I’m a relationship expert – this is a foolproof way

Thank you, next.

The general feeling is the heartbreak that occurs after the rupture. While this emotion is inevitable, there are some expert-supported steps you can take to help your heart recover.

Dr. Wendy Walsh, a relationship expert at Datingadvice.com, shares with The Daily Mail how to finally let that person go so that you can start living your best single life.

The feeling of sadness after a breakup is normal, for some reason: “When two people form a safe attachment, they start to work ‘a brain’,” Walsh explains.

So no matter how long your relationship lasts – losing that connection will suddenly feel like you have lost half of your identity.

Walsh explains that if you can’t get your ex off your mind, the first step to recovering from breaking up is to show yourself some grace – realizing that this period is a time for self-growth.

“Breakup creates fertile ground,” she said.

Walsh also advises people not to rely on this process alone – it is important to rely on your support system and “get help from licensed therapists who can guide you through the process.”

The next step to forgetting your ex is to create a list of all the horrible qualities of that person.

Walsh explains that over time, it’s easy to reflect on your relationship with rose glasses – which can make you guess for a second time that you and your ex broke up first.

She advises: “Instead, stock all the things that bother you, everything they do wrong, all the ways they hurt you, and keep scheduling the laundry list in your head. This will help your brain heal faster.”

What’s tempting is probably being in touch with your ex and staying in touch with them after a breakup – Walsh wants you to do the opposite.

“‘The most important thing you have to do after a breakup is to have no contact,” she said.

Not having a connection does not mean not texting when you feel sad and lonely – it also means unfollowing them on all social media platforms and avoiding all the places that remind you of them.

That coffee shop and your ex frequented it on weekends? It’s time to find another preferred place to heal your brain and heart in the right way.

Finally, if you and your ex are like the same group of friends, Walsh says the process of exploring new friendships is crucial.

“It’s important to meet new people, or even date new people, so you can enhance your new personality,” she explained.
