#253: The 4 Steps of No Contact


Listen Later

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I talk about the power of "no contact" as a tool to finally break free from toxic relationships.

You know how it goes – you finally decide to walk away, but somehow, you end up back in contact with that person who just brings you down. It's frustrating, right? Well, here's the thing: most setbacks in our healing journeys happen because we keep connections with folks who are bad for us.

In the episode, I'll walk you through four key steps to make no-contact work. We'll talk about the withdrawal symptoms you might experience, both physical and emotional (because yes, this can be a rollercoaster!). I'll also share tips on setting intentions for your no-contact period and how to cut off those lingering fantasies that hold you back.

  • 00:58 What is No-Contact?
  • 02:45 Why you should take a 90-day break
  • 03:10 Four steps to no-contact
  • 03:47 Withdrawal symptoms you might experience
  • 16:20 What it looks like to cut off all contact
