Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.

Caspering: Named after the fictional child phantom, it’s a friendly alternative to ghosting. Instead of ignoring someone, you’re honest about how you feel, and let them down gently before disappearing from their lives.

This week I am joined by wise and beautiful co-host Julie Demsey to talk about various ways of communicating in the early days of dating someone. Will have chemistry with some people and not with others, and that is fine. But there are ways of letting the other person know that are fine and others not so fine. Welcome to the stage ghosting and Caspering! 

Beat your breakup in THREE hours or less. Click here to get started. 

Today Julie and I cover: 

-What ghosting is and is NOT

-How ghosting impacts the people on the receiving end

-Tips for coping with “being ghosted”

-How Caspering is an alternative to ghosting 

-Ways to Casper

-Responding to Caspering 

Enjoy - and be a part of a trend to communicate better with each other.

163: MY recent breakup lessons

167: Talking about your breakup

Quotes from this episode:

“Don’t get hung up on letting your ex know the impact of their words or actions. It is done with. It is not important to have the last word.”

“Blaming yourself keeps you trapped. Learn to forgive yourself. Commit to moving on. Commit to learning from this experience rather than torturing yourself over it.”

“Rumination causes us to identify with our thoughts. When we ruminate over painful words we start to think that they are true.”

“Our thoughts are not our reality. They are just thoughts.”

“Do you love yourself enough to set yourself free by releasing this person?”

“Repeating words outloud causes us to identify with them more and more and more. The words that were spoken to you were negative and hurtful. Repeating them spreads that negativity. It gives fuel to them. It keeps them in your system rather than allowing them to start to leave your system.”
