If you're overwhelmed by negative thoughts, this episode is for you. In it, Dr. April E. House and Gretta discuss seven cognitive distortions that can arise after being ghosted and how to overcome them. They explore several thoughts, such as, "I can't trust anyone," "They ghosted me because I wasn't good enough," and "I should have seen this coming," - and discuss ways to reframe them in healthier ways. This show is for anyone who struggles with overthinking, rumination and limiting beliefs.

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."
