No Contact Challenge Day 1: Why No Contact Works & What Your Brain Is Doing Right Now Ep. 149


Listen Later

Going through a breakup and can't stop thinking about your ex? Your brain is literally in withdrawal - and understanding why changes everything.

In this first episode of the 28-Day No Contact Challenge, I break down the neuroscience behind why breakups feel like physical pain, what's happening in your brain when you can't stop checking their Instagram, and why no contact is the most powerful tool you have for healing.

What You'll Learn:

  • The science behind breakup pain (and why you're not weak for struggling)
  • What dopamine withdrawal actually means and how it affects your healing
  • Why any contact - even "just checking in" - resets your progress
  • The truth about closure (and why you can't get it from your ex)
  • What no contact really is (and what it's NOT)
  • How to identify your vulnerable moments before they derail you

Key Topics Covered:

  • Neuroplasticity and rewiring your brain after a breakup
  • The dopamine highway your brain built with your ex
  • Why cortisol is keeping you exhausted and anxious
  • The closure myth and why you need to stop waiting for answers
  • Creating distance to gain perspective on your relationship

This Episode Is For You If:

You're struggling with the urge to reach out, wondering if no contact actually works, questioning whether you can make it through, or feeling like you need "one more conversation" to get closure.

Action Steps:

  1. Recommit to no contact - for yourself, not them
  2. Identify your vulnerable moments (late nights, loneliness, after drinks)
  3. Practice self-compassion - you're going through withdrawal, not weakness
