Sleeping With Your Ex: Closure or Chaos? [S3 E7]


Listen Later

You know it’s not a good idea – but you still want to. You crave the comfort, the familiarity, the pull. But will sleeping with your ex help you move on… or keep you stuck?

In this brutally honest episode, we dive into the emotional (and biological) reasons behind why we reach back for what hurt us – and what it actually does to your healing.

Sophie’s questions for us:

  • “Why do I still want to sleep with my ex even though the relationship was toxic?”
  • “Will sleeping with my ex help me get closure or make things worse?”
  • “Is it ever okay to sleep with an ex if I know we’re not getting back together?”

* “Is it possible to have a casual sexual relationship with my ex without getting emotionally involved again?”

If your body misses them but your mind knows better, this episode will help you understand that pull — and how to finally break free from it.

Stage: Break-Up.
