Ep. 291 - When your ex is wrong… but you...

Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

You're furious and you can't stop thinking about it. Your ex said or did something you completely disagree with, and even though you understand how they might see it that way, you know they're wrong. The anger feels endless, and the more you think about it, the worse it gets. In this episode, I'm breaking down why rage after a breakup sticks around longer than it should, why it's really there, and how to finally move past it without needing your ex to agree with you. You'll learn the hidden role anger is playing in your healing, the three-step process to break out of the rage cycle, and how to take your power back when you're stuck in mental arguments you can't win. If you feel trapped replaying what they said and how wrong they were, you cannot miss this episode.
