A breakup doesn’t just end a relationship. It can shatter your present, your past, and the future you thought you were building.

In this episode of Shrinks on Tap, Dr. Lauren Fisher and Dr. Eleni Boosalis are joined by special guest Andrada Florescu, LPC, to explore what really happens after a breakup you didn’t choose — and why so many of us find ourselves dating the “same person” in a different body.

Over coffee from Junction Bakery & Bistro, they unpack:

  • Why breakups can feel like withdrawal

  • The grief process and nervous system impact

  • Social media checking as “relapse behavior”

  • Anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns

  • How childhood templates for love shape adult relationships

  • What it actually takes to move from “we” back to “me”

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why does this keep happening to me?” — this conversation offers insight, compassion, and practical reflection.
