In this video, Craig and Victoria walk you through the honest truth about reconciliation \u2014 why getting back together without addressing the reasons for the breakup often means walking straight back into the same patterns, and why the intense longing you feel might be for the safety bubble of the relationship rather than the person in it. We&#8217;ll cover:<\/p>\n<p>The one question that reveals whether you want them or just relief from the heartbreak<br \/>\nWhy you may not be ready to handle a second attempt \u2014 and the added hypersensitivity that comes with it<\/p>\n<p>How to regulate from the breakup before deciding anything<br \/>\nWhy &#8220;success&#8221; after a breakup doesn&#8217;t have to mean getting your ex back<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re wondering whether reconciliation is right for you \u2014 or whether moving on is the healthier path \u2014 this will give you clarity. Your well-being comes first, and sometimes that means a different ending than the one you imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Want Craig&#8217;s help personally?
