Summary of This is WHEN They Feel Your Absence (Podcast 877)
In this podcast episode, Vincent Boss discusses when an ex-partner feels your absence after a breakup. He outlines three key moments that trigger this feeling, which can be pivotal for those seeking to reconnect with their ex. Here are the key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques highlighted:
Key Moments When Your Ex Feels Your Absence:
-
Surpassing the Third Time Zone:
- The concept of "time zones" relates to the duration someone feels the absence of another person.
- Three Time Zones:
- First Time Zone: Initial moments of absence (e.g., a few minutes late).
- Second Time Zone: Increased concern as time passes (e.g., 30 minutes late).
- Third Time Zone: Significant time without contact (e.g., several weeks or months) leads to deep reflection and potential action (e.g., reaching out).
- Ex-partners begin to feel your absence once they surpass this third time zone.
-
Starting New Activities:
- Engaging in new experiences or behaviors can make your ex realize they don't fully know you anymore.
- Tips for Implementation:
- Try new hobbies or activities.
- Make new social connections.
- Show positive changes in your life that reflect growth and adaptability.
- This unpredictability can spark curiosity in your ex, making them question if they still want to reconnect.
-
Passing Significant Anniversaries:
- Important dates (birthdays, holidays, anniversaries) can trigger feelings of absence.
- Key Insight:
- Ex-partners may expect you to reach out during these times. If you don’t, it can lead them to wonder about your feelings and miss your presence.
- Not reaching out can lead to them questioning their decision and potentially wanting to reconnect.
Additional Self-Care Techniques:
- Audio Coaching: Vincent offers personalized Audio Coaching for Breakup Recovery and self-improvement.
- Mental Health Awareness: Talking about feelings can alleviate stress and prevent negative emotions from building up.
