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. |
