It&#8217;s quite a process to &#8216;let go&#8217; of a person you really loved or the reality you thought existed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your mind has to re-adjust to a new way of being without this person in your life.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>7 emotional stages we go through after any loss or breakup<\/h3>\n<p>1.

Be kind to yourself during this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You are shifting. It can take time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And just because you feel ready to forgive doesn\u2019t mean that something else will not trigger you back into feeling angry or sad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s having the tools to help you regulate and manage the emotions that can come up, as you\u2019ll get to a point where you stop seeing the relationship through the rose tinted glasses.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Another important note the psychologist made on the post was that however much you wish it were possible, one person alone &#8216;can&#8217;t make a relationship work if [they] are the\u00a0only one who wants it to work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Healthy relationships require effort from both partners, and you can&#8217;t blame yourself for not being able to uphold a relationship on your own,&#8217; she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>A number of people took to the comments section to share their own thoughts on the post, to discuss breakups in general, or to comment on specific stages.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/30\/17\/77184405-12689149-image-a-11_1698686493393.jpg\" height=\"95\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/30\/17\/77184403-12689149-image-m-15_1698686511610.jpg\" height=\"78\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/30\/17\/77184401-12689149-image-a-16_1698686519399.jpg\" height=\"56\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A number of Instagram users took to the comments section of the post to reveal how the information had struck a chord with them<\/p>\n<p>Discussing how they know they&#8217;ve reached the end of the healing process, one social media user wrote: &#8216;You know you\u2019re truly over someone only when you can say \u201cI wish you all the best in life\u201d to them, genuinely and sincerely.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Another agreed with the point that all stages can arise at any point during the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote: &#8216;Going through a divorce and all those stage arise throughout the day.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, another expressed their appreciation for the post, and how the information was presented.<\/p>\n<p>They simply wrote: &#8216;Yessss this explains it all so well!&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12689149\/Im-psychologist-7-emotional-stages-break-ups-denial-forgiveness.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a psychologist and here are the 7 emotional stages we go through after break-ups &#8211; from denial to forgiveness \u00a0Clinical psychologist Dr Lalitaa Suglani, Birmingham, discussed break-ups READ MORE:\u00a0Are YOU lonely?
