(Edinburgh, UK / October 9, 2025) – Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey is featured in a new Mashable article by journalist Anna Iovine, “How to Get Over a Crush”, offering her expert advice on how to redirect attention and begin the emotional shift after unrequited attraction.
In the article, Iovine explores the deep, often overwhelming emotional experience of unreturned romantic feelings and turns to trusted experts to break down practical, science-backed strategies for moving forward.
Dr. Bisbey, a clinical psychologist, sex and intimacy coach, and host of The A to Z of Sex podcast, encourages readers to reclaim their focus and gently retrain their emotional reflexes. “Shifting attention to something that brings you pleasure can help you move past it,” she explains, emphasizing the power of intentional redirection in healing from one-sided affection.
The article highlights steps like unfollowing or muting a crush on social media, journaling about the reality of the connection, and taking the time to grieve the fantasy of what might have been. Bisbey’s advice complements a theme that runs throughout the piece: moving on is not about forgetting someone overnight, but about intentionally choosing to invest energy elsewhere.
