You FINALLY meet a guy you actually like… so why are you suddenly looking for reasons to get the ick?! 👀😭

Is he actually giving you the ick, or are you just terrified of catching feelings and getting hurt again?

This week on The Break-Up Diet, I'm joined by psychotherapist Tim Wright to unpack the psychology behind dating, heartbreak, self-sabotage and why moving on isn't always as straightforward as we'd like it to be.

We're talking about why we start nitpicking someone the second we realise we like them, why dating someone new can suddenly make us miss our ex (even when we thought we were SO over him), and why we sometimes struggle to let go of people we know aren't right for us.

We also get into fear of rejection, how our past experiences shape the relationships we choose, why a breakup can leave us questioning our self-worth, how to find closure without speaking to your ex, and why some partners get so defensive when you're simply trying to communicate your feelings.

Because sometimes the problem isn't that you don't like him enough… it's that you like him enough for it to actually scare you. 💔

Whether you're trying to get over your ex, navigating a new situationship, or wondering why you keep pushing away people you genuinely like, this episode might just explain a few things.

Grab your headphones, girls. We're figuring out whether it's really the ick… or just emotional baggage in disguise.🎧💗
