How to Get Over a Breakup: 5 Steps to Heal

Whether you have ended a relationship, or someone has ended one with you, there is often feelings of heartache, anger and rejection which require patience and a healing process. Trying to avoid ‘negative feelings’ only keep us from processing them to get over a breakup.

When we commit to a romantic relationship, we can fully invest our time, energy and emotions in a person and strive to take responsibility for the success of the relationship leaving us feeling like a personal failure when it doesn’t work out. Remember there is professional help available to you, you can always seek the support of a relationship coach or therapist, such as myself.

Sadly, there is no quick fix or rule for how quickly we should get over a breakup. The process is different for every person and every relationship with various variables including time spent together, if there was infidelity, betrayal and whether the breakup was amicable.

While drowning your sorrows, hauling at your favourite retailer or throwing yourself into casual sexual encounters, or binge-watching TV may feel good, they are only band aids that delay the healing process.

The starting point for getting over a breakup is acceptance.

Here’s a five-step guide to help you heal and move forward.

  1. Allow Yourself to Grieve
    It’s natural to feel sad, angry, or confused after a breakup. Give yourself permission to process your emotions without judgment. Journaling or talking to a trusted friend can help release pent-up feelings.
  2. Cut Off Contact
    While it’s tempting to check in on your ex, staying in contact can make it harder to move on. Set boundaries to create emotional space for healing.
  3. Focus on Self-Care
    Use this time to prioritize your well-being. Exercise, eat nutritious meals, and explore activities that bring you joy. Self-care rebuilds your confidence and helps shift focus back to you.
  4. Seek Support
    Lean on your support system. Talking to friends, family, or a relationship coach can provide perspective and encouragement.
  5. Rediscover Yourself
    Breakups are a chance to reconnect with who you are outside the relationship. Try new hobbies, set goals, and rediscover what makes you happy.

Healing takes time, but by following these steps, you can move forward with strength and resilience.

Breakups are an opportunity for growth and self-reflection.
