07/03/24 • 19 min

Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this episode of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast, we sit down with Joy, who is navigating the complex and practical life challenges following the end of a long-term relationship. We explore the difficulties of fully moving on when there is significant overlap in social and professional circles, and how to handle lingering feelings especially during potential future interactions.

What You’ll Gain from this Episode:

✨The importance of self awareness in recognizing and validating your feelings of discomfort and jealousy, and why radical acceptance of these emotions is a key part of the healing process

✨Why you need to fully grieve the ending of a relationship, and why both intellectual acceptance and emotional processing are crucial for moving forward

✨ Finding a way to balance your desire to share your experience with others and not bleeding your pain onto them by prioritizing tending to your own wounds before engaging in activism or public discussion

🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy
