In today&#39;s episode, I&#39;m giving advice to a listener who is struggling with ongoing thoughts of their ex, a year on from the break-up. </p><p>We&#39;ll talk about why it&#39;s normal for your brain to drift towards those thoughts, why it&#39;s so important that we don&#39;t make meaning out of it, and why focusing on what you can control (ie, your actions) is far more useful than trying to fight against your thoughts. </p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://stephanierigg.com/book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Preorder my book, The Secure Self</a></li><li><a href="http://stephanierigg.com/hl-webinar-opt-in " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Free breakup training</a></li></ul>
