About — The Breakup Source

About

Hi, I’m Bonnie.

I’m the author of Untangle Your Thoughts and Lunar Insight, and the voice behind The Breakup Source.

After 20+ years of instructional writing, I built this site to do one thing: turn the chaos of a breakup into something you can actually work with.

Most breakup advice falls into one of two camps. Therapy-speak — abstract, validating, but leaves you with nothing to do at 2am. Or cheerleading — “you’ve got this!” — which sounds nice and changes nothing. Neither helps when you can’t sleep, can’t stop checking their Instagram, and don’t know what to do tomorrow.

My approach is different. I break down the mechanisms behind what you’re feeling — the neuroscience, the attachment patterns, the timing — and turn them into specific protocols you can use today. Not generic tips. Named frameworks with timelines and steps.

You don’t need platitudes — you need a plan.

That’s what this site is built around. Articles structured around mechanism, not affirmation. Frameworks like The 72-Hour Contact Rule, The Comparison Trap, and The Grief Timeline Paradox. Recovery treated as something you can understand, not something you just have to wait out.

What I write about

Five areas, each treated as its own discipline:

The books

The articles give you the why and the initial how. The books give you the complete system to work through.
