Breaking Up: Honest Conversations and Emotional Strategies

For me there's a gradual dawning on me of like, oh, this is not right. But I had hoped that it would stay amicable and it and the pain and resentment of divorce- and we'll talk about that another time- but yeah, um, it wears away at the pieces of it, so that eventually the sad part is when there has to be some anger or there has to be some mechanism from pushing away right instead of just holding on to the hope that you get back together and return to that.
Breaking up is hard to do, but being the one to end a relationship comes with its own set of unique challenges. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon dive into the tricky terrain of ending romantic relationships. They don't just skim the surface; they get real about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being the 'dumper'.
Jacqueline even opens up about her very public breakup with Arie on 'The Bachelor', adding a personal touch to the discussion. But it's not all about personal stories; they also bring in some science-backed advice from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help guide you through the process. Whether you're contemplating a breakup or currently going through one, you'll find valuable tips on being honest, direct, and clear when communicating with your partner.
The hosts also explore how to recognize when it's time to end things, the different types of breakups, and the potential benefits of couples therapy. If you're looking for strategies to make a breakup as amicable as possible, this episode offers a thoughtful mix of empathy and practical advice. Tune in to gain insights that could make this tough experience a little bit easier.
