Me Before We | Learn to Love Yourself First
« on: July 05, 2015, 01:09:42 PM »
Some time ago I'd stumbled onto a number of blog articles on the Psychology Today website that deal with breakups.  The Me Before We | Learn to love yourself first section has a number of articles to browse through which may be helpful.



I'd felt the article How to Mourn a Breakup to Move Past Grief and Withdrawal may be especially helpful when dealing with NC scenarios as well as D-day situations. 

"Working through the reality of this loss means entering  into the deeply uncomfortable experience of withdrawal. Mourning the loss of this entity that you helped to create is also the beginning of letting go, not because you want to, but because you have to. It will start to feel lighter, less scary, and the withdrawal ultimately subsides."
