Why the 30-Day No Contact Rule Works (and Why Itās So Damn Hard):

š¬Ā Lead Psychologist Wisdom:
When someone disrespects you and you keep replying, you're literally rewiring your brain to accept pain as love. Your dopamine system ā the brainās candy shop ā lights up with every toxic text. It doesnāt matter if itās sweet or sour. Itās stimulation. Thatās why the silent treatment feels like withdrawal: you're detoxing from a person-shaped addiction.
šĀ Hard Truth, Sister:
You wouldnāt let a stranger call you names or ghost you, so why let āMr. Maybeā do it?
Because deep down you think heāll change. Spoiler alert: he won't unless you change your boundaries first.
š¤ Ā Training a Bloke is Like Taming a Wild Roo
If heās throwing verbal boomerangs and getting away with it, youāre literally training him that bad behaviour = more attention.
š§ Ā No Contact = Rewiring your brain AND his.
It gives him space to think (rare, we know), and gives you space to remember your worth (which is priceless, not on special at Woolies).
š§ Ā Psych Trick from the Pros:
Tony Robbins calls it Pattern Interrupt.
Matthew Hussey calls it Value Alignment.
Russell Coight would call it "Chuckinā a U-ey on toxic tracks."
Either way ā cutting contact breaks the drama cycle.
Youāre not being āmeanā by not replying ā youāre being mighty.
š Ā Dating Rules from the Bush Queen's Guide to Self-Respect:
30 Days, No Texts, No Calls, No Creepin'.
Block him like you block snakes from your swag tent.
Write a āWhy I Leftā list for every time you feel weak.
Rebuild your self-esteem with mates, movement, and meat pies (or green smoothies).
Repeat after me: If he donāt bring peace, he donāt get a piece!
āØĀ PS: Wanna keep your power in your pocket? Save this line:
āIf he canāt respect me in a text, he canāt have me in person. End of story.
