Have you heard of Farid Dieck? He is a psychologist and communicator of Mexican origin who has become a coach for personal relationships and emotional well-being on social media. Through a positive psychology approach, he shares content with his 9 million followers on Instagram, 11 million on YouTube, and nearly 28 million on TikTok. He mainly disseminates information about emotional intelligence and how to manage relationships, including breakups.
Whatever the reason for the end of a relationship, Dieck advises handling it from a standpoint of personal growth and gratitude. Unlike other currents that advise zero contact after a breakup, he believes that the healthiest closure lies in the love for what that story meant, in all the beautiful moments lived, and in trying to close the chapter in the best way possible.
Farid Dieck
Farid Arturo Dieck Gomez, known as Farid Dieck on social media, was born in Mexico in 1993, and has become one of the leading voices of personal growth on the internet. Multidisciplinary, he is a writer, speaker, content creator, and psychologist. Thanks to his passion for psychology, philosophy, and art, he has found the perfect balance to convey to his millions of followers a calm and reflective vision of personal growth, emotional management, relationships, mourning processes, and other situations where emotions can let us down if not properly managed.
Breakups
One of the greatest pains that a human believes they will never experience is the one felt after a romantic breakup. Whether you are the one who leaves or the one who is left, it is a difficult situation to face and manage emotionally. Many people choose to cling to a bad ending to make forgetting a bit “easier,” even resorting to no contact.
Generally speaking, humans have problems managing emotions and feelings. Why does this happen? There is not just one reason. It may be due to lack of affection, the inability to express emotions during childhood, or a lack of emotional education. That is why seeking help from a professional often helps make these processes, within the bad, a little more bearable.
How to cope with breakups?
The approach advocated by Farid Dieck has nothing to do with what was mentioned. According to the psychologist, “A relationship can end out of love. When being together harms us and rots us, instead of helping us grow, breaking up becomes an act of love.” For Dieck, the best way to navigate the grief of a breakup is to look back with compassion and love. “For me, the best way to break up with someone you truly loved and who truly loved you is to be grateful for all the beautiful moments,” he declared.
What does Dieck advise us?
If you have shared a part of your life with a person, you had reasons to do so. That is why Dieck believes it is necessary to honor that relationship as part of the healing process. It is not about denying or regretting the time spent, the love given, or the feelings experienced, but about understanding that it is a learning experience for which we should feel grateful. According to him, “You invested there. If love is an act of giving, then you gave everything of yourself in the relationship: you gave your vitality, your humor, your joy, your sadness”.
It is important for each person to go through the pain of grieving in the best way they believe and feel. Dieck’s approach is based on emotional reflection and management from a very mature standpoint. However, not all breakups happen in the same way; sometimes, zero contact, which he renounces, is necessary. Whatever the situation, it is important to have the ability to manage emotions and feelings, and if one does not know how to do so, to seek help from a professional.
