Dos and Don'ts for Healing a Broken Heart

Feeling hurt and angry after a breakup? There's a right way and a wrong way to get past the pain. Take a look at Dr. Phil's list what you should (and shouldn't!) do to heal the heartbreak.


DON'T lose sight of what's important.
Sometimes the relationship you need to rescue is the one with yourself. Moving past a breakup is all about you, not your ex. Don't worry about becoming friends right away—if ever. You have to be your own friend first.
DON'T get stuck.
Grief is a process to go through, not a destination in which to wallow. In a process, you keep putting one foot in front of the other. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months... each little step is part of the process of healing your heart.
DON'T embarrass yourself.
Driving past your ex's house, making dozens of phone calls, e-mailing non-stop…that's not the way to let go of the past. Don't get in a situation where you'll look back someday and feel humiliated.
