How to Heal After a Breakup & Rebuild Yourself: Insights from the Founder of the Breakup Institute - Dr. Jue Sun

Send us Fan Mail Breakups are rarely mutual, often messy, and almost always treated as something to hide. In this episode of Love & Life Sorted, Dr. Sandy To talks with Dr. Jue Sun, founder of the Breakup Institute, about turning heartbreak into self-knowledge. Jue shares how the Institute began—intimate events, book talks, and even a mini-concert exploring Cantopop breakup songs—to normalize the conversation and remove the shame. Drawing from her own multiple breakups and divorce, she explains why modern relationships feel so fragile: we expect one person to meet every emotional, intellectual, and practical need. The real pain often comes from non-reciprocation and the loss of a shared self and future. She offers practical ways forward: honest communication, support networks, self-work, and learning to put yourself first without guilt. The goal isn’t becoming a perfect partner next time—it’s becoming more conscious of your patterns, boundaries, and needs. A thoughtful, hopeful conversation for anyone navigating the end of a relationship or wanting to love better in the ones that follow. #BreakupHealing #SelfLove #RelationshipAdvice #GettingOverABreakup #BreakupInstitute #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipExpertInsights #SociologyOfLove 🔑 Key Topics What the Breakup Institute is and why it started Why breakups still carry so much stigma Modern relationship pressures and mismatched expectations The deeper pain of losing a shared life and self Practical tools for healing and clearer communication Turning past relationships into self-awareness ✨Let’s sort life, one chat at a time!
