When you break up, your brain creates a story about what happened that feels true but is usually distorted. These narratives pull from past memories instead of what actually occurred, and they can trap you. Understanding what's really driving the pain helps you move forward.
Whenever we go through something traumatic or painful, what happens is our survival brain kicks into high gear and really tries to make sense of what happened. Most of the time, the thoughts, the stories that it feeds us are really not the truth, but they really feel like the truth, and they're often linked to past experiences and past memories. If you need some more help with this, we can dive a little deeper and get to the roots of what might be keeping you stuck in places that you'd really rather move past.
