On this bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele unpacks one of the most confusing parts of heartbreak: why we long for what hurt us. 💔

From attachment withdrawal to the neurochemical crash to cognitive dissonance, you’ll hear how your brain and nervous system rewrite the past in search of comfort. And most importantly, you’ll learn how to grieve the good without romanticizing the whole story—so you can heal on your terms.

💛 Gentle reminder: Missing someone doesn’t mean they were right for you. It means you formed a bond—and bonds take time to unravel. Healing is not linear, and your heart deserves patience.
