Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Did you know that academic research has been conducted about ghosting and being ghosted? In this show, Gretta interviews Dr. Darcey Powell, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Roanoke College in Virginia, who co-conducted a multi-study examination of attachment and implicit theories of relationships in ghosting experiences.  Listen and learn about what this cutting-edge ghosting research reveals.

If you've been abandoned in a relationship, this episode is for you. Whether a friend disappeared, a business partner left you on read, or the love of your life ghosted - this episode will explain why it's not personal. It's not your fault, and you didn't deserve this.
*NOTE: Being "ghosted" is different from leaving an abusive situation without a goodbye - that is "self-protection." It's also different from disappearing after a boundary has been violated; that is "self-respect."

Aaaand, as a reminder, when you're ghosted, it's not your job to analyze your ghost. It's your job to take care of yourself. Knowledge is power, and this episode can help you identify unhealthy relationship dynamics.

When somebody vanishes without explanation or warning, it's shocking and painful. But instead of caring for ourselves, we tend to focus tons of energy on the ghost. "Why did they do this? What did they think about me? Where are they?"
These are normal and understandable questions, but when we ruminate on what we can't control (the ghost), we can lose sight of caring for ourselves.
🛑👻Don't ghost yourself. You deserve to be seen, heard, and acknowledged, and now is the time to see, hear, and recognize your needs. In this podcast, Gretta shares seven ways to boost your mood, relieve stress, and generally feel better after being ghosted. You are #1.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

If you’re struggling with your body image or eating disorders after being ghosted, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Michele Jensen, PsyD, LMFT, joins Gretta to discuss navigating difficulties, such as the belief that you were ghosted due to your physical appearance and what to do if your eating habits have been impacted by being ghosted. 

Discover  ways to boost your self-esteem,  challenge negative thinking patterns,  and feel better after being ghosted.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

This episode is all about what to say to somebody who is ghosting you. 
Ghosted? Many people say, "let the dead Rest In Peace," or,  "Ignore people who are ignoring you." But the truth is, ghosts often don't stay dead in our minds - we often continue to think about them - even when we don't want to. But how should we respond to the sound of silence? 
Erin Fisher, a certified mediator, relationship coach, and founder of Atlantic Mediation Services, collaborated with me to create 6- scripts to send to your ghost. These copy-and-paste messages are for anyone who has been ghosted in love and romance. We cover many scenarios, from being ignored in a dating app conversation to if your partner ghosted you.
Each message will guide you and give you a voice in the situation.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Who tends to get ghosted the most? What's attachment theory? Why is there so much confusion about the definition of ghosting? Is closure something that we should seek out after being ghosted?
