How to Prepare Yourself to Have "The Talk" — According to a Breakup Coach
Having “The Talk” is never easy, but there are ways to make the conversation more conscious and loving.
If you’re the one who is bravely taking the initiative to end your relationship, then I’ve created this video to help you prepare a little before you go into the conversation. I know how nervous, but determined you are.
And just by choosing to read this blog, and watch this video, I can already see that you are leading with your heart, and putting your partner’s feeling front-and-center. Good on you, seriously.
As a breakup coach, I help people both before and after a breakup to help them rediscover themselves in the process. I am often the person people speak with before they make their transition just to see if it is the right decision, and how to communicate what they need effectively.
Why prepare for The Talk?
By preparing for The Talk, you’re putting yourself in a better position to respond, and not react.
By preparing, you’re focused on the outcome—which is to be loving, and not to just to “get it over with.”
What I’m covering in the video
In this short video, I talk about the two things you need in order to show your partner that this is not about them, and it is about you.
Remember, you’re wanting to move forward with your life because you are feeling the call.
Sometimes you just have to listen to that.
I’m sure you’ve been thinking a lot about this decision, and somewhere you feel at peace about the decision, as hard as it is. The important thing is that you feel peace inside yourself.
But remember, just because you’re the one making the decision, it doesn’t mean you’re the one “at fault” for letting everything go. There are two of you in the relationship; and sometimes one of you just needs to be brave.
I know for me, I was the one who ended my relationship a few years ago because I genuinely thought if I didn’t end it, it would have never ended. At the time, I knew only one thing: it was time to say goodbye.
With that knowing in mind, I can share that that’s really all you need right now.
You’ve got this.
