Coping with Ghosting

If you're overwhelmed by negative thoughts, this episode is for you. In it, Dr. April E. House and Gretta discuss seven cognitive distortions that can arise after being ghosted and how to overcome them. They explore several thoughts, such as, "I can't trust anyone," "They ghosted me because I wasn't good enough," and "I should have seen this coming," - and discuss ways to reframe them in healthier ways. This show is for anyone who struggles with overthinking, rumination and limiting beliefs.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a communicated boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Do you know a child or teenager who's been ghosted? Today's guest is Maggie Reid Schneider, MD, Ph.D., neuroscientist, and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow at Boston Children's Hospital. In this show, Maggie explains kind, compassionate, and supportive ways to help children and teens navigate the post-ghost landscape. It's a must-listen for all parents, grandparents, caretakers, and beyond.

** Note: This episode can help anyone who's been ghosted, so if you're an adult who doesn't know any kids or teens, please still listen because this show has excellent advice for everyone.**

Narcissists. Sociopaths. Psychopaths. In this episode, Denise M. Dudley, Ph.D., explains specific personality disorders as they relate to ghosting behavior. Gretta and Denise also touch on other possible reasons why people ghost, and how  personal issues can lead to ghosting. This episode answers the question, "How could someone ghost?"
Aaaand, as a reminder, when you're ghosted, it's not your job to analyze your ghost. It's your job to take care of yourself. Knowledge is power, and this episode can help you identify unhealthy relationship dynamics.
