Alex Cooper
About this episode

This week, Father Cooper is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Guy Winch. There is the classic saying…only time heals a broken heart. WRONG! Thankfully Guy is here to provide us with tangible advice on how to navigate heartbreak and get ourselves back out there. What are the rules when it comes to stalking an ex on social media? Can I ever go back to “our” favorite restaurant again? How do I know when I’m ready to date again? Do I really need “closure” in order to move on? If you are one of the lucky few who has not experienced heartbreak, you surely know someone who has. Guy provides guidelines on how to be a good friend to someone experiencing a breakup while also ensuring that you are setting boundaries for your own mental health. Daddy Gang, if you or someone you know has recently experienced heartbreak, this episode is a must listen.
