Relationships are challenging. We cannot control them. We cannot guarantee that they’ll succeed. Breaking up is a painful process. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself and focus on your healing before you meet another person. Take good care of yourself - and take as much time as you need, so that when you’re ready you can build the healthy relationship you deserve. And remember, you are not alone. In this Episode Chaute had a conversation with Avalaura where she speaks about importance of healing after a break up and steps to help you move forward. Avalaura is a Licensed Graduate Social Worker who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Additionally, she is a trained Reiki Master/Teacher, Certified Life Coach and Spiritual Counselor, Hypnotherapist, Holistic Aromatherapist and Yoga/Meditation Instructor. This is a GREAT conversation worth listening to!
