Why Does Ghosting Hurt So Much?

In this episode of The Self Help Briefing, Mike and Jen explore the psychology of ghosting, why it hurts so deeply, and how you can begin healing after someone suddenly disappears from your life. They discuss why our brains crave closure, how ghosting can affect self-esteem and future relationships, and why another person's inability to communicate says far more about them than it does about your worth.

Whether you've been ghosted after a first date, a long-term relationship, or even a close friendship, this episode offers practical insights and a hopeful path forward.
