Phoenix Live: A Weekly Divorce Support Group.

This week's divorce support group topic:

How to Finally Let Go of Someone You Can't Stop Thinking About

If you can't stop thinking about your ex — replaying it, missing them, wishing it were different even when you know it's over — you're not failing at healing. You're holding on, and almost everyone does. The question is how to actually loosen that grip and start moving forward.

As Joseph Campbell put it, "we must let go of the life we planned in order to have the life that is waiting for us." So much of the pain comes from gripping the life you thought you'd have — the future you pictured — and the letting go begins when you start to accept that this is a new reality you didn't choose, but can still build something good from.

This session is practical and hopeful. We'll look at what actually keeps people stuck — and how letting go of the heaviest feelings first, the grief and the anger, is what frees you to move forward. Because the thoughts and emotions you keep carrying are the real weight; set them down, and everything after gets lighter. You'll also walk through simple ways to get clear on what you want, what's standing in your way, and what small step you can take this week.

You'll leave with a clearer sense of how to stop carrying what's behind you — and the reminder that, as we say in the group, if you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
