Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Healing from Friendship Breakups


Listen Later

Welcome back to another Language of Love Bite! 

Today, I want to share something deeply personal and universally relatable – the often-overlooked pain of friendship breakups. I totally get how losing a friend can feel just like you've lost a member of your family, and with everything going on with the pandemic, those feelings are even more intense.


I'm opening up about my own experiences with losing friends and I'm right here with you, guiding you through those complex emotions. We're going to talk about how to pick yourself up and build that resilience to move forward. It's all about looking inward, reflecting on the friendships we've had, and being brave enough to make new connections.


But here's a heads up – trying to get closure from that former friend might not be the best move. It can actually set you back on your healing journey. So, let's navigate this together and find our way to a place of peace and new beginnings. 

I talk about:

  • Friendship breakups and grief that can bring 
  • Impact of pandemic on friendship breakups
  • Complex emotions during the grieving process
  • Navigating loss with grace and resilience
  • Guidance on navigating the aftermath of friendship breakups
  • Importance of self-reflection and identifying valued qualities in friendships
  • Accessing new, more aligned connections to emerge
  • Practical advice and support for individuals navigating friendship breakups

  • Have you experienced the pain of loss and found it difficult to cope and heal? If so, I invite you to visit my website and explore the resources available, including a grief course that may help you navigate through your journey of healing.
