#334 Should You Give Your Ex a Second Chance? With Dr. Joy Berkheimer

In today’s expert episode I’m interviewing Dr. Joy Berkheimer, a licensed marriage and family therapist, sexologist, dating coach, and author of Why Won’t He Call. We dive deep into the topic of second chances in relationships—from giving your ex a second chance, to understanding when it might not be the best idea. We discuss how honesty, communication, and attachment styles influence our decisions to try again after a breakup, and the important role that hope and consistent change play when considering rebuilding trust. We also touch on how sex factors into second chances, the risks of situationships, and why creating space after heartbreak can be so valuable. If you’re questioning whether to give someone or a relationship another shot, this episode is full of actionable tips for discerning what’s really right for you.
