Releasing The Energy Of Past Lovers Isn't Fun, But You Need To Do It If You Want To Move On
Ever felt like you’ve moved on from a past relationship… but something still lingers?
Maybe it’s the memory of an ex, the grip of a rebound that’s not quite right, or the way your body tenses when someone new gets too close.
In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I’m being honest about what it actually takes to clear the emotional baggage of past relationships so you can finally feel free and I open up about my own healing journey - working with my energy healer, facing uncomfortable truths, and using tools like EFT, breathwork, and unsent letters to truly let go.
If you’ve ever wondered why someone lives rent-free in your head—or why intimacy feels off even when it “should” feel right, this episode is for you.
Here’s what we cover:
1. Signs you’re still holding onto your ex’s energy
2. How past relationships affect your present dating reactions
3. Why letting go frees you from toxic loops and comparison
4. 6 powerful methods for releasing old relationship energy
5. Working with a professional energy healer for trauma and energy clearing
6. Breathwork’s powerful role in emotional release
7. Understanding toxic relationship dynamics and their energetic impact
8. You’re either gonna get it, or think I’m bat shit crazy…
9. Listener dating dilemma: mixed signals and limited time
10. Setting your standards and knowing when to walk away
