Hey, Dr. Shaw here, and I know exactly how you feel. After going through a toxic relationship, it can feel like love is something that's just not meant for you. You may be tempted to give up on the idea of ever finding happiness again. But don't lose hope! Because I'm here to tell you there is a way to find love again and be happy.
After emerging from a toxic relationship, it can feel like love is something that's just not meant for you. The person you thought you loved turned out to be someone who didn't love you at all. They were manipulative and selfish, and they left you feeling broken and alone. As a result, you may be tempted to give up on the idea of ever finding happiness again. But don't lose hope! Because I'm here to tell you there is a way to find love again and be happy.
Here are three simple steps you can take to heal your heart so you can love again:
- Acknowledge Your Feelings
The first step is to acknowledge how you're feeling. It's okay to be sad, scared, and angry after what you've been through. Give yourself time to grieve the loss of the relationship. Don't try to bottle up your emotions or pretend like everything is okay when it's not. Allow yourself to feel, and then release those feelings so you can move on.
- Forgive yourself
The next step is to forgive yourself. You may be feeling like you did something wrong or that you could have done more to prevent the relationship from going sour. But the truth is, you can't control how someone else feels or what they do. So don't beat yourself up over it. Let go of the guilt and give yourself a break.
- Take care of yourself
Finally, take care of yourself. Now is the time to focus on your own happiness. Do things that make you feel good, and surround yourself with positive people who love and support you. When you take care of yourself, you'll be in a better place to attract a healthy, loving relationship into your life.
