Love can be complicated, and breakups even more so. On “Mental Breakthroughs,” host Jessica Reyes and relationship expert Lucia explore whether you should turn back the clock or move on for good. They delve into the nuances of breakups, the importance of no contact, and the role of weekly communication in maintaining a healthy relationship.
Not All Relationships Are Black and White
Lucia explains that not all relationships end because they’re toxic. Sometimes it was just the wrong time, or there was a miscommunication. Understanding the true reasons behind a breakup is crucial in deciding whether to rekindle the relationship or move on.
The Power of No Contact
Lucia emphasizes the importance of no contact after a breakup. This period gives both parties the time and space to miss each other and gain clarity. For those with an anxious attachment style, this can be challenging, but it’s a necessary step in the healing process.
The Key to Preventing Breakups
Lucia advises couples to have a weekly discussion about what they appreciated and what could have been done differently. The rules? No defensiveness, and listen without interrupting. Regularly addressing issues helps prevent them from piling up, creating a healthier, more communicative relationship.
