Honestly, I don't have the psychological part of it down, like stuff still pops up for me, but its something I'm working on. Maybe "telling a different story" about the past situation could help. Reframing. As long as its true and not a lie, imo. If I'm ruminating, giving myself a 30 min time frame (example time) to think about it (or focus on a solution) in a day and then move on, helps.
I know what you mean. You are wondering about the possibility to put on this other person’s shoes but it doesn’t always work. I mean...we have to care also about ourselves and we have to be very aware of the barriers we set with certain people.
This other person could be broken but I am also.
