A free heartbreak recovery email course that helps you stop checking your ex's social media, process grief, and move forward with your life.
What This Solves
After a breakup, it is common to refresh Instagram, reread old messages, and replay the relationship in your head. That urge can feel irrational, but it is often a mix of grief, habit, and reward-seeking behavior rather than a lack of willpower.
Breakup Detox is designed to interrupt that loop. Over 7 days, you get one short lesson at a time so you can reduce compulsive checking, handle the urge to text your ex, and build a calmer post-breakup routine without trying to fix everything in one day.

Why this exists
Most breakup advice is written for the version of you that can already think clearly — the one who's ready to "focus on yourself" and "give it time." This isn't that.
This is for the version of you refreshing their profile at 2am. The one rereading old messages looking for what went wrong. The one who almost texted them tonight and stopped halfway through. The one counting days, then losing count, then starting over. The one who keeps having to remind yourself, again and again, that it's actually over.
The 7-day detox doesn't pretend a breakup is something you "get over." It gives you a structure for the part nobody talks about — the in-between days, where the only thing keeping you checking is the fact that there's nothing else to do with the energy. You get one short email a day, science-backed exercises that take ten minutes, and a way to break the loop that doesn't require you to have it together yet.
When you're ready for a private place to write the things you'd never actually send, Rescript Journal is where the detox continues. It doesn't chat back. It asks one question, then waits. It's for the unsent letters, the spiraling, the things you replay, and the moments you don't want to talk to anyone about yet.
Breakup Recovery FAQ
The goal is not to rely on willpower alone. You need to notice the moments that trigger the urge, create a pause before you check, and replace the behavior with a small action that helps you regulate instead of spiral. Breakup Detox walks you through that process in a daily format that is easier to stick with.
You get one short email each day for seven days. Every lesson includes a research-backed explanation, a practical exercise, and a prompt to help you process grief, reduce obsessive checking, and start building momentum again.
Yes. One of the most common post-breakup problems is the urge to reach out in a vulnerable moment. The course includes guidance for what to do when you want to text, call, or check in so you can respond with more intention instead of reacting on impulse.
It can. Writing helps turn repetitive thoughts into something you can process more clearly, which makes the emotional loop feel less automatic. That is why the course uses short, structured prompts instead of asking you to sit down and write pages when you already feel overwhelmed.
No. Breakup Detox is a self-guided educational course for breakup recovery, not therapy or crisis support. It is a useful structure for people who want practical daily help, but it does not replace support from a licensed mental health professional.
