Coping With Ghosting: Recent Episodes
Gretta
This podcast provides hope, healing, and understanding for anyone who has been ghosted. What is ghosting? Imagine sharing a connection with someone: a dating match, significant other, friend, family member, or even a business partner - but one day - they disappear out of thin air. Texts, calls, and emails go unanswered. You know this person is still alive, yet they have vanished from your life; they have “ghosted” you. This podcast is dedicated to helping people who have been affected by somebody's disappearing act. It explores ghosting, relationships, abandonment, grief, self-care, closure and more. Hosted by Gretta - a sensitive soul who has been ghosted one too many times. Intro and Outro Song: Ghosted by Gustavo Ramos.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."
In this episode, host Gretta, Certified Post Betrayal Transformation® Coach, reveals exactly what to do when the person who ghosted you reappears and wants to come back to your life. You’ll learn how to protect your heart, set clear boundaries, and decide with confidence whether a reunion is truly right for you. You’ll discover:
- The types of relationships that aren't safe to go back to
- How to be a ghostbuster and shut down the haunting
- How to identify if the person who hurt you has grown and evolved to the point where they are unlikely to vanish again
- How to know if you feel ready to rekindle a spark with your former partner
- The first steps to getting back together with a rehabilitated ghost
By the end of this show, you’ll understand what you need and what they must show in order to begin building a healthy relationship.
Note: While this episode focuses on romantic reunions and dating, many of the insights can also be applied to friendships and family relationships.

When women end a friendship, the heartbreak can be devastating, yet we rarely talk about how hard it is to grieve somebody who is still alive. Susan Shapiro Barash joins Gretta to explore the complex world of female friendship estrangement based on her groundbreaking research interviewing 150 diverse women. Her new book, "Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended or Ended," challenges the lifelong "best friends forever" narrative that has left countless women feeling down when their closest friendships crumble. From the faithless friend who betrays your trust to the green-eyed friend consumed by jealousy, Barash identifies different types of toxic friendships that lead women to the painful decision of ending relationships they once cherished. Whether you've been ghosted or betrayed by a friend, are healing from a friendship breakup, or seeking to build healthier connections, this episode offers compassionate guidance for navigating one of life's most under-discussed transitions.

It's not your fault, and you didn't deserve this. This show was initially published in 2022.
*NOTE: Being "ghosted" is different from leaving an abusive situation without a goodbye - that is "self-protection." It's also different from disappearing after a boundary has been violated; that is "self-respect."

What happens when someone vanishes from your life without a word? In this episode, host Gretta dives into the social phenomenon of ghosting with insights from researchers Yejin Park and Nadav Klein. Together, they unpack the latest research on ghosting, specifically YeJin and Nadav's study, Ghosting: Social Rejection Without Explanation, But Not Without Care. Surprisingly, some ghosts believe that disappearing without a trace is the kinder choice. While this doesn't justify ghosting, it offers a deeper look into the psychology behind it. Join us as we explore the emotional dynamics of human behavior in relationships and challenge the way we think about ghosting.

If you've been abandoned in a relationship, this episode is for you. Whether a friend disappeared, a business partner left you on read, or the love of your life ghosted - this episode will explain why it's not personal. It's not your fault, and you didn't deserve this.
*NOTE: Being "ghosted" is different from leaving an abusive situation without a goodbye - that is "self-protection." It's also different from disappearing after a boundary has been violated; that is "self-respect."

This episode is all about what to say to somebody who is ghosting you.
Ghosted? Many people say, "let the dead Rest In Peace," or, "Ignore people who are ignoring you." But the truth is, ghosts often don't stay dead in our minds - we often continue to think about them - even when we don't want to. But how should we respond to the sound of silence?
Erin Fisher, a certified mediator, relationship coach, and founder of Atlantic Mediation Services, collaborated with me to create 6- scripts to send to your ghost. These copy-and-paste messages are for anyone who has been ghosted in love and romance. We cover many scenarios, from being ignored in a dating app conversation to if your partner ghosted you.
Each message will guide you and give you a voice in the situation.
