There are some situations when meeting an ex is necessary, and some where it is NOT. Today, in Part 2 of the ‘Ex Factor - when should I meet up with an ex’ series, Louise & clinical psychologist Dr. Tari Mack get into that question. They discuss:

• Collecting and exchanging stuff
• When meeting an ex is an absolute necessity and when it's a big NO
• The Checklist - discussing intentions, expectations, time frames and healing
• How to handle mutual friends, parties and co-parenting
• The importance of setting boundaries and considering the impact on others when meeting with an ex

Plus, to send or not to send? They also discuss the age old ‘writing a letter to an ex’ - should you send it, should you not? Dr. Tari and Louise have slightly different opinions on this one. Join us to work out where you stand on the ‘send it, or don’t send it’ spectrum.
