Summary
Think about your breakup as a physical injury. Andrea Liner, Psy.D., suggests trying to give yourself the same grace when healing from having your heart broken that you would if you were experiencing a medical issue.
Give yourself permission to feel your feelings. Susan Birne-Stone, Ph.D., a licensed clinical social worker in Brooklyn, suggests setting a timer and giving yourself 10-20 minutes to feel whatever you are feeling without judgment.
Reconnect with things that make you happy. Dr. Liner suggests dusting off old hobbies you may have stopped doing while busy in your relationship. “We naturally shift away from various activities while dating, and it can be empowering to get back to them,” she explains.
Surround yourself with good support—and lots of it. Naturally, your inclination may be to lean on your friends for support during and after a breakup.

Summary
Let go of the timeline. To reiterate a point made previously, the first step to get over a breakup is letting go of any mental timeline you might have.
Feel your feelings. It’s surprising just how easily the mind can invalidate how you feel. A lot of mental activity can spring from a wounded heart. This is a clever mechanism to avoid how you’re actually feeling about your ex.
Let go of blame. Whether two people drift apart or a relationship ends abruptly, it’s natural to look for blame. What caused the end? Is this the right decision?
Practice self-compassion. All the messiness that follows a breakup makes self-compassion one of the best ways to get over a breakup in a healthy way. Taking the example of blame above, self-compassion is the ability to meet yourself, kindly, and to accept the choices you’ve made.
