Deep dives
Understanding the Love Barrier
After a breakup, individuals often struggle to move on due to what is termed the 'love barrier.' This barrier is characterized by feelings of selfish love that stem from fear of loneliness, low self-esteem, and a belief in one’s inability to be independent. The podcast highlights that true love should allow space for an ex, contrasting with the needy, possessive feelings that can prolong suffering and hinder healing. Recognizing that not all feelings towards an ex are unconditional can help individuals start to process their emotions more objectively.
