Description

Do you keep trying to 'start fresh' only to find the same old painful patterns repeat? This episode uncovers a common trap in heartbreak recovery: the desire for a "Clean Slate". We expose why simply moving on or changing your surroundings doesn't work.  The real work is in understanding and integrating the trauma, not erasing it. In this episode we discuss three essential steps to process your past, including the concept of "Trauma Inventory," to truly build a new, stronger foundation.

Discover your Unique Breakup Style: This is a crucial first step to taking back your power. Your confusing emotional reactions right now are not random; they are driven by a subconscious emotional operating system (your attachment style). By identifying your unique style, you gain a clear blueprint for your behavior. This transforms your healing from a frustrating, chaotic storm into a strategic, predictable, and conquerable process.
