Therapists can help you find your way through a broken heart and come out better on the other side. These professionals have heard it all before and they tend to be the best listeners - well, you are paying them - and they have spot-on advice, unlike your besties. Here’s what real people say was the best dating advice their therapist ever told them.
- Letting go is hard, but necessary – “If you have to ask if she needs to go, then you already know the answer.”
- Don’t settle – “You are intelligent and beautiful, do not settle for less.”
- Take care of your own needs – “That I am responsible for my own feelings and others are responsible for their feelings.”
- Love yourself – “Make a list of ten things you value in a partner. Then work on making sure you have all of those things yourself. While you are working on yourself love will find you. Self love is the most important part of love.”
- Don’t shove your feelings down – “Lean into feelings. Don’t be afraid of the pain because it hurts today, it will hurt tomorrow, too.”
- It takes two – “That a successful relationship takes effort on both sides, but not necessarily 100% effort from both sides all the time.”
- Don’t take your partner down with you – “Don’t drag others through your mud, if at all possible.”
