Description: What if the reason you can’t move on… is because you never actually let go? This week, Emma goes down the rabbit hole on one of the most misunderstood breakup strategies in modern dating: no contact. And no — it’s not a trick to get your ex back. It’s a strategy to get yourself back.In another slap-you-out-of-your-delulu episode, Emma breaks down the psychology behind why breakups feel like withdrawal, why people fail at no contact, her experience with it and the subtle ways we keep ourselves emotionally tethered to people who are no longer good for us. From dopamine addiction and breadcrumbing to the hard truth about why people reach out to their exes, she unpacks what’s really happening inside your brain when you’re tempted to reopen the door.Whether it’s an ex, a toxic friendship, or someone who keeps disrupting your peace, this episode is a wake-up call that distance isn’t about punishment, the fact that there is a mental rewiring required to move on, and Emma reveals the one question you should ask yourself before sending that text.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.
