Complex with Kimberley Wilson - Why do people ghost?

Download Why do people ghost?

Kimberley and her guest, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox, explore why people ghost (the emotional impact of being suddenly cut off) and how to move forward when you’re left without answers.

Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through the information - and misinformation - surrounding our mental health. She invites expert guests, including psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists, to share their insights and practical advice.

If you are concerned that you have a medical or mental health issue, please contact your GP or seek expert help. You can also visit the BBC Action Line to find details of organisations offering information and support for a range of issues.
