How to Get Over a Breakup with a Loved One Using a Notebook

Breakups are almost always painful. People try a variety of methods to stop thinking about their loved one, from drinking to therapy. But there's another method, which its proponents consider the most accessible and effective. The "no contact journal" trend is gaining popularity on TikTok. Bloggers are writing down everything they wanted to say to their ex in notebooks and journals. They claim this helps them get over the breakup and let go of the person for good.

Bloggers who post videos in the TikTok trend "no contact journal" advise cutting off contact with your ex once and for all. Instead, they recommend keeping a notebook or text file to write down everything you want to say to the other person. TikTokers claim this helps eliminate the temptation to keep contacting them.

Those who practice this method report with satisfaction that it works. Using such a journal, you can quickly detach yourself from past relationships. Furthermore, such emotional journaling allows you to observe your own gradual changes.

For those who want to start a "No Contact Diary," TikTokers recommend writing down more than just their thoughts. It's also important to set goals, celebrate successes, and document failures weekly. Analyzing these entries will help you learn from each event. Some recommend using the journal not only to address exes but also deceased loved ones. They believe this makes the loss easier to cope with.

Yes, this method for coping with personal trauma is suitable not only for women but also for men. It's already been proven that men handle breakups more severely than women. Therapy, as the bloggers call their method, has become popular among TikTok users. To date, the hashtag #nocontact has over 1.7 billion views.

We believe this therapy could be made even more effective. Instead of flipping through the notebook in front of the camera with a straight face, you simply burn it and scatter the ashes.
