Kara Lissy for Bustle - Clinic Coordinator & Therapist, Kara Lissy, shares her insights on the pain about when to jump back into dating.
If you can think about the future without feeling like a giant piece of you will be missing, that's a great sign!
"Whatever events in the future you had planned as a couple, whether it was a family vacation or the next step of moving in together, you've started to visualize yourself going through them without that person," Kara Lissy, LCSW, a psychotherapist at A Good Place Therapy and Consulting, tells Bustle. "The end of a relationship is a grieving process and a crucial part of that process is reorienting yourself to a life without them."
The future will no longer seem like a blurry mess, where you struggle to accept things will be different. Instead, Lissy says you'll be able to think things like, "We're broken up, and that's OK."
