Is there any know type of therapy or hypnosis for getting over an ex ?

@acupaday you are right but how do you heal when you get to see the person regularly and are in contact with them all the time?

@Rogo1 Ah, that’s when it gets a bit tricky. That’s when exposure therapy would come into play. That’s what they practice when helping people overcome things like anxiety that can impact their ability to do everyday things. But being briefly exposed to the person you’re no longer attached to can…over time…teach both your heart and mind that you can function without them being such a key factor in your everyday. That they can be something other than what they once were. It’ll be hard as hell in the beginning to breathe the same air as them and bury your impulses to show them the affection you naturally attributed to them, but that’s when you gain the strength to carry on a new path without them. Everything takes time and a determination to just keep on keepin’ on.

Thanks @acupaday this is highly insightful. I think I can work on letting go , however my greatest fear is if I let go then she will let go emotionally and all the love we thought we had will be gone .

@Rogo1 Love will always reside within you both. How could it not? Don’t let that fear of what could be deter you from gaining the healing you need right now though. You owe yourself the peace that comes with it.

@acupaday you are definitely right, my life has been turned upside down because I’ve been finding it difficult to let go even though I know it’s not healthy.
