#228 Getting Stuck in Breakup Limbo

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In today's solo episode I talk about what it means to get stuck in breakup limbo or breakup purgatory. We discuss why it is so harmful to get stuck in this place, why it causes so much anxiety, and why even though it's so painful it's a place we'd prefer to be because then we don't have to come to terms with the relationship actually being over. I also talk about what to do if you find yourself in breakup limbo and why it's so important to reclaim your control and your power.
