    How To Get Your Ex Back ( 5 Important strategies )
    If you are going through a break up it can be one of the most painful experiences of your life. If not THE most painful experiences.
    No matter what kind of relationship you were in. If it was 3 months, 3 years or 3 decades. You find yourself at the potential end of that relationship.
    Trying to get your ex back is not easy. scary, confusing.
    It is absolutely terrifying. Many of you have spent hours every single day trying to figure out what to do.
    Today’s video I thought I would do something a little different. I had some recent questions that came up from various people that thought would go together for a video
    Hey Coach, Just had a quick question for you. My girlfriend and I broke up last week. I came online and found you with a few other coaches. I love that you actually have a psychology degree and experience. Nobody else seems to have that. I also really like the way you talk with people. I can tell you really care. I’m really confused and scared about one thing. Some people say I should ignore my ex if she reaches out. Is that true? Should I ignore her for the 30 days.
    1) Do NOT ignore your ex: This is absolutely one of the worst mistakes you can make.
    Why would you ignore someone that you are wanting to repair things with.
    If your sister and you got into a fight and she wanted to talk with you about it and work things out. Would you ignore her? Of course not!
    She would get more angry and then say screw him then. I tried. Now of course in that case, she would be family. But with an ex, why would they keep reaching out if they are going to get rejected… That doesn’t make any sense.
    If someone tells you to ignore your ex, you should ignore their advice. Because it sucks.
    I had a guy I did a Skype coaching with a few months ago who tried that advice. He was walking in the park near his house. And guess whos there. His ex walking her dog. The dog sees him and runs to him. He doesn’t know what to do.
    I had a woman I just a coaching ask me this question:
    2) Should I be friends with an ex? I feel like if I am their friend I can eventually win them back.
    I wouldn’t. You are lying about what you want. You aren’t being authentic to yourself and to them.
    Do you want to listen to stories about someone new you are dating?
    Nelly sent me a question recently:
    Hi Craig! Thank you for all your hard work and incredibly insightful videos. I have a question I was hoping you could answer.
    I have been having a very difficult time during my break up and spent a lot of time talking with my friends and family. It’s so confusing. Everyone tells me different things.
    3) Talking to friends and family to get advice
    Have them as an outlet to talk and spent time with them. Be very careful about taking any advice. I cannot think of anyone who has had a good strategy to reattract someone.
    After watching your videos on attachment styles, I realize I have an anxious attachment style and mistreated my boyfriend. I screamed at him all the time. I put him, his friends and his family down. I feel terrible. My mom said I should send him a handwritten letter to him and mail it. Do you think this would help?
    4) The handwritten letter does not work
    Absolutely not. I hear people tell me all the time how they did the handwritten letter. It doesn’t work.
    5) Learn about Love and Attachment. Attachment styles.
    Someone’s attachment style is their blueprint for love.
    Would you use the same blue prints to build two different things.
    Would you use the blueprints for Yankee stadium to build The Golden Gate Bridge. Of course not!
    Every day I put out videos to teach you about love, attachment, attachment styles, trauma.
    Let me help you figure out what attachment style you are and your ex is.
    Someone’s attachment style is going to make a HUGE difference in what they are attracted to and how to re attract them.

    When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; when I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great wisdom here for anyone who can grasp it.

      This is an old comment but reminded me of something recent and sad. My girlfriend kept journaling and writing letters every night before going to bed. It was about her changing feelings towards me that she first didn't want to face at first, until she couldn't sleep unless she wrote them out crying. She felt guilty for "roleplaying" throughout the way when she talked to me as if nothing was wrong. This went on for weeks, before she finally broke up with me.

    You should definitely not ignore them when they reach out. It’s juvenile. Do not however, respond to them within seconds. Although we are aching for them to reach out, to throw ourselves at them when they reach out would go against the discipline that no contact is supposed to build.

      in my case, it is getting back to the month before i met my ex, because i had a feeling i was going to meet a new girlfriend soon, when i hadnt been with a woman for six years! It was the expectation feeling that got me to where I wanted, law of attraction, whatever. I had started approaching women i was interested in and got super close to getting a girlfriend, but weeks later i met this girl on cupid and we broke up a little over a week ago (it was 8 months long). So yeah, I totally agree, and also think you can add that feeling of expectation if you want to feel better about yourself since you had this feeling maybe you were going to succeed

    Suggestion for a future video: I understand that not every situation is a one size fits all; however, you mention that re-attracting someone who has anxious attachment is different from someone who has an avoidant attachment. I love psychology, but the scholarly articles I have read explain the fear of abandonment vs. aloneness, respectively-speaking. Would you please consider making a video of how re-attracting an anxious person differs from re-attracting and avoidant person? Thank you for your insightful videos.

      Ditto. Now I'm in massive therapy and it's helping. However, the real question is, how do any of us know after months in therapy, if not longer, if it's working if we're not dating someone and getting the feels again to know that we're able to lower our anxiety? That's my biggest fear. I'm working on my childhood attachment pain and releasing it as I process all of it for the first time in my life, but how will I know unless I walk the walk? Right now I can talk the talk, but what about putting it into practice?
      I'm unsure about anyone else, but I'm on all of the dating apps and I go on dates, I go to events, I talk to people, but I'm not connecting with anyone. They connect with me and want to date me, but I'm just not feeling anything for new people, even if I spend time with a new person I know this is because, I'm still attached to my ex. Ugh.

    I cannot afford you at the moment but I’m learning a lot and all your videos are my lifesaver . Thank you for your priceless generosity .I was tempted all the time to contact my ex but I can hear your voice and Margaret’s in my mind “Do not do it !” I was sure half of the time that you’re wrong but I held on to no contact . After 6 months he texted me . All my anxiety dissolved but it was short lived the reason is that I texted back . He sent a picture of him fishing. I texted back and I didn’t hear from him again. My anxiety resurfaced but your voice is stuck Do not do it. I could barely control my anxiety so I blocked him to stop my obsession of checking my phone. Before I found you,I would be sending bullets of texts from my anxiety. Coach Craig and Margaret you are both angels of the heartbroken .

    Aug 15, 2020, he left home. He had another girl. He said he is looking for something he doesn't know what. He just knew that he was not happy anymore. For two weeks, I cried chase, and beg. Until the time I saw this video. I did NC. After a week of no contact, Sept 7, 2020, to be exact, he sent me a message that he will visit us for his birthday, Sept 8. He went here until the next day. When he left, he said that he will never visit us again. I did no NC again for another week. He contacted us again ( we have a 4-yr old boy). Since then, almost every day he was calling though he was just talking to our son. To cut the long story short, after 2 months, on Sept 14, we were talking until he said he wants to see me. We will have a date tomorrow.
    Thank you, Coach Kenneth. Not just I have my ex back, but I learned a lot from your videos. You are right about self-love, self-improvement. I did. I become a better person, I know he is, too. I trust NC, I trust the divine timing, I trust God. Who am I not to trust.

    Coach I think you should make a part 2 to this video! I think strategies on how to deal with your ex parter being in a new relationship soon after the break up is needed. Not only because it's a tricky situation in which we can easily ruin chances of any reconciliation , but we also need strategies on how to be able to move forward and work on ourselves while dealing with that pain and wanting to be reunited with them at the same time. Friends and family also mess that up because they encourage you to hate the person and cut them off completely. There's not much information on how to handle that

      Don't be too clingy or needy and keep your distance. I have avoidant attachment style and I do get really interested whenever woman keeps her distance. But ever start contacting too often, sending too many messages etc. Let them come to you on their own pace. This of course can be a challenge if you want/need totally different things and can't cope with the distance.

      @D V Honestly I don't think it makes any difference if you are avoidant or not in the case of no contact. In my opinion you have to stay in no contact no matter what. Also as far as I understand and how I feel it is that avoidant have the urge to connect just like anxious ones but I guess the difference is that in the long run avoidant personalities simply do not need as much attention, closeness etc. as anxious ones.

    I've done no contact and yes it works but tbh narcissists will always come back. If they are not narcs, you don't want to ignore the person you love for long (three weeks works) and you can only do it once otherwise you become the one perpetuating a toxic cycle...no contact is for your health, not the reunion.

    Are they really wanting to get back together or they’re just testing the waters? They have to
    say something significant and not just “I miss you, I’ve changed, I love you.” People need to know there are consequences for their actions and they need to make it up to you and regain your trust and make sure you both meet in person to ask them questions to really make sure that they won’t break up with you AGAIN! You have to be serious the second time around.

    Hey Coach thanks for all your help. I was a total mess after the break up. I watched a bunch of your videos right after the breakup. It funny listening to your videos with a clear head now. I did the email apologizing for everything I did and even sent a text that said I still love you. That didn't work lol. I did no contact. Its been a few months since the break up and I didn't see or text her for just over a month. I seen my ex at work for the first time in months. I was in a much better place in my head. I smiled and said hello. About 30 minutes later i got a email from her asking me to give my dogs a big hug for her. I emailed her back and chatted with her for a few min and I told her I had to go get some work done. I didn't bring up the break up or ask her to come back. That was a few days ago. Im not really sure what to do at this point. The no contact helped me heal. Now what lol

    it;s amazing how many things you can learn from your videos...
    and i am not even paying for all those tips!
    a few months ago i went to a therapist (really famous in my country)
    i was really sad beacause i had a bad break up, i didn;t know what to do...
    i said that i was missing him, that my ex decided to break up with me and when i texted him he didn;t even answer..
    well the therapist told me to visit my ex to the place that he was working and try to talk to him...
    i said (to the therapist) i can;t do that, he didn;t answer to my text, why would i go to his place unanouned????
    the therapist said that i must follow my heart... and i remember saying to him 'im sorry, am i paying you to tell me to follow my heart??? !
    i never went back to this therapist, i wanted to send him a link with ur channel so he could learn some things...!
    still here coach...to your channel after 7-8 months!

I’ve never reached out to them even tho yes I miss them & regret myself breaking up with them.

    Hey Craig☺ i was in a relationship for about two years.My ex girlfriend broke up with me two weeks ago because she thinks I cheated on her but then I never cheated on her .Out of my anxiety I made a mistake in pleading her to be like a friend which she rejected.She said shell never get back to me.so I maintained no contact. After few days of no contact she started texting me saying she wants to be like a friend just like i asked her in the past. But then I realised being friends is more painful and I gently said no to her . Do you think I made the right move.? Will she come back to me? How long do you think I should stick to my strategy?

    I was in an abusive relationship. She was emotionally, psychologically, verbally and physically abusive. We have a daughter. We had an argument that turned physical, where she gave me permanent scars... I held her wrists and because of that she used the event to have me arrested. The crown withdrew the charges because they see what happened. It’s been two months no contact, and yet even now, I still wish that my family was together again.. of course without the abuse, but I miss her even despite everything. Having a tough time with all of this.

    Hello Coach Craig,
    Was dating this girl for 2 months but she dumped me stating she doesn't want a relationship because she isn't ready for one. I'm sure I rushed into the relationship with her. She seemed to lose interest all of a sudden. I've talked to her since breakup about her snapchat story (a week later) - car broke down. She talked fine for that day and became cold and distant again two days after. Since then, I've deleted her from my social media (fb, messenger, snapchat, IG). It's been a couple of days but no response yet.
    What are my chances?
    Thanks.

Then u start to feel like a doormat, so when do u close the door to them to let them feel what it’s like to not have u. Cuz I feel like my ex knows that I will always let him in my life and he knows how much I love him but he wants to have his cake and eat it to. I feel like he has not felt the loneliness that I feel. What do u do?

I want him back so I decided to go on the no contact rule. It's been a week, and today my ex suddenly saw my snapgram which was an unsual thing.

And what do I need to say to him after the no contact rule? I am looking forward to hear your advices. Thank you

    @criszaamm2119 4 роки тому +1

    I broke up with my ex for about 2 months now. We still see each other and talk in person as we are colleagues. It was a hard month after the break up as she has an avoidant commitment style and she showed no feeling about it. She talked to me as per usual but gets irritable and seems to hate me at times. This definitely drove me crazy and I could not place myself to which pathway I should go (move on, or win her back). I do love her very much and I definitely wanna win her back but, she told me she does not wanna be with me anymore. Despite, whenever we meet, things are just as per normal and it confused me. After watching the NC video and trying it, it did work and she did miss me and finally, she said she loves me still. However, NC is a huge challenge for me as we see each other every day and sometimes spend our breaks together(as per schedule). In addition, I have an anxious attachment style, so you can imagine how difficult it is for me. I am pretty much satisfied with where we are right now with my ex, but she also laid out a line to me that she is not coming back to me anymore. I have a ray of hope that we might be together again but, with the stage I am right now I do not want to be too confident and end up be friend-zoned.Please advise about this. Any advice would be a take away for me. :) Thank you

    I left her due to my frustrations with our misunderstandings. I regretted it. Did no contact for a month. Reconvened in July. If I wanted her trust back, I was told to prove that with actions by showing her how much I care about her, how worthy she is, how much I want to be with her, etc. I did all of that and she tells me I'm the first man to show her she's finally more than enough for someone. But she can't get over the past of me leaving her. She has struggled with many people leaving her because of her anxiety. Last week, she broke it off even though she said this would be her biggest loss. Is there any hope?

    My ex broke up with my right after our 6 month anniversary saying that he felt too strongly for me and it was distracting him from some business decisions. A month after he broke up with me, he did reach out with the excuse that he was changing our amazon account and going to sign me out, but just wanted to let me know. I wasn't overly friendly, but just matter of fact and to the point and didn't try to continue the conversation going. He's been seen in my office sitting in a meeting room next to my desk and then a week later he found a way to run into me coincidentally on his last day as a contractor in my office building. He also hasn't signed me out of his Amazon account and he has left things at my house. We haven't spoken for about a month since I ran into him on his last day at my office. Should I reach out? I was totally the shiny new me when I ran into him last that has worked on herself, but I feel he should be the one to reach out...I don't want my anxiety to take over and try to control things. He should reach out right? It's been almost 4 months since we broke up and I haven't initiated any contact at all. Help!
