How to heal after heartbreak, rebuild self-esteem and approach dating with confidence So you’re divorced. Or separated. Or recovering from the sizeable heartbreak of a serious relationship implosion.
Sure, it was for the best, but try telling that to the small voice muttering “failure” after you close the laptop on your latest binge-watching session in bed. You’re contemplating”getting back out there” and making the most of the new-found freedom at your fingertips. It’s supposed to feel exciting, right? Something about entering your “slut era”? Except your self-esteem and self-trust seem to have taken a hit through this whole thing and you’re questioning how desirable the dating pool will find you.
A friend who loves “doing the work” suggested that now’s the time to be consciously single! To date yourself and become “the one”. They sent you a podcast episode, and you replied, “Definitely giving this a listen!” You didn’t though. The dating scene has changed a lot since you were last single.
A lot. No one seems to have good things to say about dating apps , yet they seem to be an almost mandatory single experience. The thought of creating a profile to advertise yourself feels terrifying and maybe ever so slightly exhilarating.
