How To Heal From A Breakup? Overcome Emotional Pain And Move On With 3 Brains Coaching

In this solo coaching video, Christoffel Sneijders challenges the common belief that a breakup can be resolved by trying to erase the ex—deleting photos, social media, or simply refusing to think about the person. He argues that such resistance is ineffective because the emotional and even physiological bonds formed during a long‑term relationship persist. Using a quantum‑physics metaphor of entanglement, he explains that once two systems are connected, they remain linked even after separation. He further grounds the idea in biology, noting that we constantly inhale and exhale billions of liters of air, and that our bodies renew millions of cells daily using oxygen, which he claims carries traces of the former partner. The core recommendation is to stop fighting the memory and instead accept and welcome the past, treating the ex‑partner as a part of oneself. He guides viewers through a brief mindfulness exercise: close the eyes, take deep breaths, and consciously welcome the happy and painful moments of the relationship, observing the emotions that arise. The video concludes with an invitation to explore his other content and to join his hypnotherapy, NLP, and personal leadership workshops for deeper work.
