Why They Disappeared: Coping with Ghosting & Betrayal with Gretta Perlmutter


Have you ever been left on "read" forever? In modern dating, few things are as frustrating or painful as a sudden, unexplained ending. In this episode of the Cupid’s Coach Podcast, host Julie Ferman welcomes Gretta Perlmutter, a Certified Post Betrayal Transformation® Coach and host of the Coping With Ghosting podcast. Gretta shares her professional expertise and personal journey through "ghosting on repeat" to help you understand why people disappear and how to reclaim your peace of mind.

Julie and Gretta break down the distinction between breaking a "social contract" and healthy self-protection, while exploring the surprising statistics that show ghosting is a multi-generational trend. Whether you're dealing with a "micro-ghost" on an app or a disappearance after a real date, this episode provides the courageous communication tools you need to move from victimhood to closure.
