What My Therapist Told Me About Ghosting Blew My Mind
<p>If you have been ghosted, you know that it’s one of the worst ways to get rejected. Processing the experience of been ghosted can take awhile, even if the situationship or relationship lasted only a few months.</p>
<p>If you haven’t been ghosted, think about this feeling as talking to a room full of people from the podium, while everyone just looks away as if they can’t hear you. Like you’re invisible. Like your needs don’t matter. Like you don’t deserve their energy or attention. Not one bit.</p>
<p>Regardless of which camp you fall into, we all know that ghosting is not healthy, both for the ghoster and the ghostee. It shows emotional immaturity on the part of the ghoster, and it can stir up a lot of unhealed emotional wounds for the ghostee.</p>
<p>One day, I was sitting on the metaphorical therapy couch — because most therapy is done over Zoom now — and explaining to my therapist how I felt when I got ghosted.</p>
<p><em>It felt like I was getting emotionally abandoned again; something deep from my childhood came up for me.</em></p>
<p><em>He didn’t seem to care about my feelings and that had me questioning if the connection I felt with him was even true.</em></p>
