No contact: the key to rebuilding yourself
Discover why the no contact rule is the most effective method for healing after a breakup.
What is the no contact rule?
The no contact rule is a technique that involves cutting all contact with your ex-partner after a breakup. This method allows you to take a step back, refocus on yourself, and begin a genuine process of emotional healing.
Create emotional distance - The no contact rule allows you to break emotional dependency and regain control of your emotions.
Accelerate your healing - Studies show that maintaining contact prolongs pain and delays the grieving process of the relationship.
Rediscover your identity - The no contact rule gives you the necessary space to reconnect with yourself and rediscover who you are outside of the relationship.
The 5 stages of no contact
Understanding the phases you'll go through during your no contact period will help you stay strong.
Denial
"No, this isn't possible... It can't be over." This initial phase is characterized by the refusal to accept the reality of the breakup.
Anger
"How could he/she do this to me?!" You feel frustration and anger towards your ex or the situation.
Bargaining
"What if we stayed friends? What if we took a break?" You look for compromises to maintain a connection with your ex.
Depression
"I'll never get over this..." A period of deep sadness where you become fully aware of the loss.
Acceptance
"It's over, and that's okay." You accept the end of the relationship and feel ready to move forward.
Everything you need to know about the no contact rule
Answers to the most common questions about the no contact method.
How long should no contact last?
The recommended duration is at least 30 days, but this can vary depending on the person and the relationship. The goal is to maintain no contact until you feel emotionally detached and have regained your balance.
Does no contact really work?
Yes, no contact is effective for several reasons: it allows you to break emotional dependency, refocus on yourself, and begin a genuine healing process. Many psychological studies confirm that cutting contact is the most effective method for recovering from a breakup.
What should I do if I break no contact?
If you break no contact, don't judge yourself too harshly. Acknowledge what happened, analyze what triggered the urge to contact, then restart your no contact period. The NoContact app helps you understand your triggers and develop strategies to resist in the future.
Can no contact make my ex come back?
Although no contact can sometimes lead an ex to resume contact, this should not be your main goal. The true purpose of no contact is your personal healing and emotional growth. Focusing on yourself is always the best approach, regardless of the final outcome.
