Today Dr. Frankie discusses breakups and how they can leave us feeling confused and longing for closure, which often means understanding and accepting the end of a relationship. She explains how we may hope for answers from an ex, conversations don’t always provide the clarity or relief we seek and can sometimes make things harder.
She states true closure often comes from within—through reflection, time, and personal growth—rather than external explanations and that breakups are more like grief, requiring patience and self-compassion. She reminds us all that healing is gradual, and moving on is often about finding peace in your own life rather than seeking it from the past.
