Relationships: How to get over someone

About this video

Shelton addresses how to move on from someone by changing the mental association from pleasure to pain. He argues that people stay attached because they’ve conditioned themselves to associate the person with positive feelings, similar to addiction. Shelton recommends reprogramming the mind by vividly reminding yourself of the pain that person caused until you naturally avoid them like any other source of pain.

Key takeaways

• Shelton claims people remain stuck on someone because they associate that person with pleasure rather than pain
• He suggests breaking the attachment by reconditioning your mind to associate the person with the pain they caused through repeated reminders
• Shelton states this principle can be applied to any addiction, not just relationships
