“On episode 80 now, and it’s been a little over a month since my breakup. We were planning a wedding, and I was about to move across the world with him- There was no back up plan. When it ended, anxiety would wake me up from my sleep. It was excruciating living in the house we had shared- sometimes I would crumble while doing simple tasks and just sob on the floor. The only thing that made me feel better for the first 5 days was this podcast.
The introspection Dorothy provides has so much value. I was able to be honest with myself about how interacting with him makes me feel *now* versus how it used to. I kept wanting to see how he was doing because I thought it would give me comfort and security, but in reality I would just end up even more anxious than before. By supplementing an activity that *actually* gave me comfort and security, I’ve been able to avoid torturing myself for a reward I would never receive.
The biggest piece of advice I have is to actually do the exercises in the podcast. And no, I don’t mean pause the podcast and try to answer… you’ve got to do a train-of-thought writing exercise where you can seriously visualize what’s going on in your head. Plus, re-reading your thoughts later are massively helpful. I’ve wrote things to read when I feel like messaging him, when I imagine us getting back together, when I miss him, etc. And every time, reading it will trigger this aha moment, and it’ll swing me out of self pity for a little bit.
I think Dorothy is going above and beyond with providing free value for her listeners. For the people who are upset that she’s upselling her course, just realize that this is her livelihood. Building a community and advertising a business isn’t easy, and I think most of her clients funnel in from her podcast. Just ask yourself if you were in her shoes, how would you show people that your course is legitimate? I would do exactly what she’s doing. Success stories, resources, anecdotes from people who didn’t want to sign up initially, etc. Anyways, definitely recommend! You go Glen Coco!”
