Medicinal Media asked our co-founder Jennifer Chaiken, LMFT, to explain what's actually happening when someone disappears: usually avoidance and discomfort with hard conversations, and almost never a measure of your worth. Jen also gets into closure, and how to give it to yourself when the other person won't. Read the full piece at Medicinal Media. And if being ghosted knocked something loose, an old fear of being left, a familiar not-enough feeling, that's worth being curious about with a therapist.
