Most of us will go through the pain of losing a close friend, yet very few of us are ever shown how to handle it. Whether it’s a sudden fallout or a slow drift apart, the end of a friendship can shake your confidence, trigger self-doubt, and leave you wondering who you are without that connection.

Dr. Aman Bhonsle is a psychotherapist, youth mentor, and relationship counselor based in Mumbai. With years of experience helping young people navigate anxiety, heartbreak, and identity struggles, he brings a mix of clinical insight and practical wisdom.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why drifting apart from a friend can hurt as much as a breakup
• How to know when to let go versus when to reach out
• The emotional traps teens often fall into after losing a friend
• Why silence and lack of closure can feel unbearable, and how to process it
• Small daily habits to restore balance and self-worth
• How to grieve a friendship without letting it define your future connections

This isn’t just an episode about losing friends. It’s about finding yourself again, building emotional strength, and understanding that healing is possible. I hope you enjoy listening.
